Monster
Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda    2023, 125 min    Japanese with English subtitles

When her young son Minato starts to behave strangely, his mother feels that there is something wrong. Discovering that a teacher is responsible, she storms into the school demanding to know what’s going on. But as the story unfolds through the eyes of mother, teacher and child, the truth gradually emerges.
“Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest, scored by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, is a dense, shape-shifting drama that grows more scattered as it progresses.” – Little White Lies

Meule is made of modular synths, a guitar, two drums by three musicians crossed at the bend of other Touraine bands (Thé Vanille, C4DILL4C, Lehmanns Brothers). Their music is carried by repetitive and saturated grooves a la CAN, sequencers and electronic atmospheres reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and the German kraut softs bands of the 70s.

Rayannah is a Franco-Manitoban artist, producer, beat-maker and artistic director based in Winnipeg. She unveiled her first full length studio album Nos repaires (Our Haunts) in March of 2019. She went on to be named “Francophone Artist of the Year” and “Producer of the Year” at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2019. She has toured across Canada, Europe and Latin-America and opened for international acts including Esperanza Spalding and Cœur de Pirate.
As a producer, Rayannah has worked on a variety of projects including studio albums and sound design for theatre and film. In 2021 she stepped into the role of artistic director with her immersive multi-disciplinary project Afterglow which saw artists from different disciplines collaborate on an innovative virtual performance. She went on to found and spearhead HYPERART - a Winnipeg-based multidisciplinary festival featuring collaborative performances and installations.

Learn about the essential features of Procreate, the digital drawing app (for iPad only) that has become indispensable for many since its launch in 2011. This workshop will take you through the basics of this versatile and user-friendly drawing tool: how to create a canvas; all about brushes (line weight, opacity, texture, customization); blending; layering; undos and redos; adding text; making adjustments; sharing your work... and much more!
The afternoon will consist of a series of live demonstrations followed by some hands-on activities. Please bring along an iPad and stylus pen, with Procreate installed and ready to use.

Cato Cormier is a self-taught illustrator and cartoonist. They draw strange humanoids, regular folks and the bits and bobs that make up their worlds. Much of their work explores the joy and absurdity of having a body. It is at times surreal, often cheeky and always earnest.

Cribbage returns to the Heather Curling Club!
My name is Lyndon, I've lived in Winnipeg for the past 20 years. I've been playing cribbage off and on probably since I was 10. I joined a cribbage group in early 2019, really enjoyed play with the group. It was on Wilton. However, my work schedule changed since that year and late 2021 and early 2022, my dream was to host my own cribbage nights.
So, I started buying cribbage boards and cards and now have a great stock for large groups. We are still a small group, but I could host up to 80 players.
Winnipeg Free Press had a story on the cribbage nights in the November 10th paper. The online version is updated with photos of myself.

We play in an area of the club’s fully licensed restaurant. They have some good selections on their menu. Feel free to come before and have a bite to eat. You can bring your own water.

We play in partners, where winners move to the next table and switch with one that didn’t win. You don’t need to bring a partner either, come solo and you'll join a table. This is just a fun night to meet people.

Art Showings

MAWA Mentoring Artists for Women's Art

Exhibition to September 28, Wednesday - Friday, 10 am - 4 pm

MAWA is hosting a members’ showcase and sale entitled Food, a banquet of creativity featuring works from MAWA members in a wide range of styles and mediums. Some of the work will be for sale, with all proceeds going to the artists.
Dining customs carry diverse cultural meanings, including notions of family, culture, hospitality and propriety. They encompass etiquette and taboos, and reflect our identity.
Food conjures the senses of sight, smell and taste. It also implies sustenance on different levels - food for thought! In the visual arts, food has held a wide variety of metaphoric meanings, including prosperity, generosity, fertility, sex, death and decay. Food is so much more than what we simply eat.
Participating artists: Adriana Alarcón, Mishelle Aminov Kosonovsky, Marie Antonette, Avery Ascher, Michelle Blackmon, Beatriz Barahona, Mahfuza Beauty, Jacqueline Bergman, Hollande Bezan, Lisa Bissett, Marie Bodnar, Kelly Campbell, Connie Chappel, Karen Cornelius, Alice Crawford, Alison Davis, Dena Decter, P.

The Fort Garry Hotel
https://www.showpass.com/casati-presents-a-night-of-norah-jazz-at-the-fort-garry-hotel/

Casati is best characterized as a folk trio with an open mind. Grace Hrabi, Jesse Popeski, and Quintin Bart are graduates of the University of Manitoba's jazz studies program. Over the past ten years the trio has released two albums, “There Will Be Days” (2017) and “This Is Just To Say” (2019), finding their style in a unique blend of all the music that inspires them: the heartbreak of a country ballad, the vocal harmonies of 1950's and 60's pop, and the instrumental virtuosity of jazz and classical music, creating a sound that is familiar yet original.

Casati will be presenting the music of Norah Jones in concert for Jazz. Jones has been an important inspiration for the trio, with songs that combine personal, vulnerable lyrics with a distinct combination of jazz and folk music. With special guest pianist Alanna Fast, Casati will perform a selection of familiar favourites and deep cuts from Norah Jones’ two decades-long career. http://www.casatiband.com

Matt Foster 'True Needs' Album Release Concert
The album has been described as a masterful sonic paradox, a quiet storm both stunning and profound, managing somehow an under-the-covers intimacy that is also inexplicably vast and without horizon, full of space and hushed subtleties
Matt’s live band is a tour de force, speaking their own language. The hurdy gurdy in the hands of Quintin Bart is compelling beyond words.

Red Haus Live, 944 Dorchester Ave, Winnipeg
Admission is by donation     redhauslive@gmail.com

This is a porch show outdoors! The Dealer's Choice Tour is a triple bill featuring three award-winning Ontario singer-songwriters: Rebekah Hawker, Sarah Hiltz, and Shawna Caspi.
The first half of the show is a songwriters-in-the-round format, with each artist taking turns swapping songs. The second set invites participation from YOU, the audience (aka The Dealer)! During intermission audience members write down suggestions for song themes and put them in a hat. The artists choose themes for each round and play songs based on those themes.
The performers have to think quickly, connecting their songs to each theme, and the audience is left with a memorable evening. It’s a show that’s different every time!
Preview live performances from each singer-songwriter:

Ian Kuali'i - ʻAʻohe hope e hoʻi aku ai
Ian Kualiʻi is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist of Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) and Mescalero Apache ancestry working in murals, large-scale hand-cut paper, and site-specific installation. Ian fluidly merges urban contemporary art with his ancestral iconography and history, drawing from occult symbolism, Indigenous politics, and Native Hawaiian cultural practices. From a single sheet of paper using only an x-acto blade as his tool, Ian’s portraits and compositions are carefully rendered in hand-cut paper, blending boldly geometric traditional patterns with delicate lenticular linework.

The Russlaender Mennonites: War, Dislocation, and New Beginnings
Between 1923 and 1929 some 21,000 Mennonites from the Soviet Union left a land decimated by violence, famine, and epidemic. They found shelter in far-off Canada, where government, church communities, and private businesses supported their immigration. These migrants, popularly known as the Russlaender Mennonites, made Canada their home. For the past hundred years, they have influenced the shape of Canadian Mennonite communities through their family networks, churches, economic pursuits (as labourers, professionals, and entrepreneurs), and in the worlds of politics, faith, arts, and service.
This centenary conference presents papers that explore the development of the Russlaender, from late imperial Russia, through war, revolution, and upheaval in the early Soviet Union, to their relocation to Canada. It will also feature conversations with noted authors of fiction about the Russlaender experience.
There will be a livestream of this event. Full conference program & free registration: https://ctms.uwinnipeg.ca/events/russlaender-mennonites/

Winnipeg Art Gallery to May 21  
https://www.wag.ca/event/headlines/
For 150 years the Winnipeg Free Press has remained a staunchly independent news source and now, in celebration of this historic anniversary, Headlines: The Art of the News Cycle, explores the news and how we consume it.
I started with the idea of news itself, news media in the 21st century, right now – and what are artists thinking about in relation to this? I looked to artists first, says Symko.
The exhibition draws on these critical ideas, which include artworks made from the news and newsprint, as well as works that explore headlines and obituaries and, of course, fake news.
Headlines will contextualize the art on display with exhibition design that mimics a newsroom.
