Self-identified women, girls and theirs allies in Winnipeg will be marching in celebration of the 104th International Women’s Day (IWD).
All genders and ages welcomed, families encouraged!

We will be marching in solidarity with the struggles of all women in Canada, and all over the world. Participants are invited to celebrate the successes, accomplishments, resilience and strength of women in their lives. On IWD, we pay heed to the historical and current consciousness-raising, community-building, and organizing work carried out by caregivers, suffragettes, politicians, reproductive choice advocates, environmentalists, Indigenous rights activists, and labour activists, alike. 

We will march in solidarity with the self-identified women and girls whose lives are undervalued, who face political, economic, emotional, psychological, verbal, sexual, or physical violence, who cannot get decent work, who live and work in conditions that endanger their lives.

Joe Sinness’s still life drawings are visual narratives of desire. Through selecting and arranging objects and subjects that he adores and then re-presenting them in coloured pencil on paper, the drawings become yet another type of fetishized commodity. Sinness’s photorealistic drawing style imbues these staged still lifes with a metaphoric presence that he characterizes as “melancholic tributes to queer performance.”
