Transcendence is a collection that details my personal catharsis. Art has always been my therapy – a means to overcome difficult life circumstance through the act of painting and sketching. Fantasy has always been a huge source of inspiration, being inspired by childhood movies such as The Neverending Story or The Chronicles of Narnia book series.
Over time I discovered that art can be used as a vehicle for change. Half the proceeds sold in this show will go towards Arcane Horizon – an organization that assists persons with developmental disabilities with community living supports to help them lead their best lives. I have realized that art is not just a means to change my circumstance, but can also be used to benefit the lives of others, which is the essence of this show. ~ Jacobus van Houdt

Mide-wigwas: Transmediating is an exhibit focused on the relationship of birchbark scrolls, as relatives holding both sacred and historical knowledge, to other archival media such as photographs and film. 70 years ago, the artist Angelina McLeod’s great-uncle James Redsky (re)produced a series of Midewiwin birchbark scrolls, including origin, migration, and master scrolls, telling the story of the Anishinaabeg migration from east to west. These scrolls are the only known source that conveys this history through traditional Anishinaabeg methods of knowledge record. Redsky is from McLeod’s community of Shoal Lake 40 (SL40) First Nation, and in 1966 sold his scrolls to the Glenbow Museum in Alberta.
Midewiwin pictograph birch-bark scrolls contain stories, songs, and sacred narratives (Aadizookaanag) handed down to the Anishinaabeg from generation to generation. The purpose of this exhibit is to honor the ancestors and culture by re-telling our stories through intergenerational history across media and through Anishinaabeg ways of knowing.
Angelina McLeod (Anishinaabekwe) is an emerging filmmaker, writer, and documentary subject from Shoal Lake First Nation. Angelina is a land and water defender who is passionate about sharing Anishinaabeg history, culture, languages and stories. Her research is focused on Midewiwin birch bark scrolls that were once held by her grand uncle James Redsky, WWI veteran and prominent member of the Midewiwin. Angelina directed a series of short films with the National Film Board of Canada about her community Shoal Lake 40, First Nation, the source of Winnipeg's drinking water.
We would like to acknowledge we are gathered on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that our source of water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

Electric Six and guests
The Devil has always been there. He is the great outsider, the original iconoclast. Above all else, The Devil lives to corrupt, to adulterate, to defile.
Electric Six has often used The Devil as subject matter for its songs because of that last bit, the part about corruption and adulteration.
With its fourteenth studio album Bride of the Devil, Electric Six examines the concepts of evil and corruption, humanity’s various falls from grace, the nine circles of purgatory and of course, the internet itself.
Our sound will corrupt and enslave you as the beautiful demonic bride you know you truly are.

From the HBC and the Indigenous free traders of the fur trade to the establishment of companies that still exist today, Thinking Big examines the history of Winnipeg’s business development. Through profiles of Manitoba industries and personalities, Blanchard reveals how Winnipeg’s business community dealt with challenges, organized itself to take advantage of periods of growth and prosperity, and shaped the city we know today.

Belugas in Manitoba: The Future of our White Whales
Did you know Western Hudson Bay is home to one of the biggest concentrations of beluga whales in the world?
An estimated 55,000 belugas (one-third of the world’s population) migrate into the Churchill, Seal, and Nelson river estuaries each summer to moult, calve and feed.
But belugas are highly sensitive to climatic changes. As the Arctic sea faces longer ice-free periods, beluga whales are becoming more vulnerable to increased ship traffic, hydroelectric development and predation from orca whales.
Join us for a webinar with Kristin Westdal, Arctic Field Research Director at Oceans North. She will discuss the latest beluga research, including the importance of belugas to the region, the biggest threats to beluga populations, and what is being done to protect these magnificent creatures.
Westdal has worked extensively on research about narwhal, belugas and killer whales in Canada’s eastern Arctic, including collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Qikiqtani Inuit Association. From 2001 to 2005 she owned and operated a kayaking ecotourism operation in Hudson Bay that offered close encounters with beluga whales.
CPAWS Manitoba wants to maintain this positive connection to nature by providing a space for Manitobans to connect online from the safety of our homes and be inspired by nature in our backyards and beyond.
Join CPAWS Manitoba for weekly lunch and learn presentations from experts across the province who will share their knowledge and passion.
