Video Pool Media Arts Centre, 100 Arthur St, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1H3, Canada
Tickets  https://www.showpass.com/never-swim-alone/

Written in 1991, Daniel MacIvor’s dark comedy, ‘Never Swim Alone’ is a game of one-upping, memory, nostalgia and petty rivalry that bristles with tension and then explodes.
Two men enter a room. Two boys sit on a beach. They might be the same man, and they might have been the same boy, but it’s important that you know they are not. Two men, mirror images, haunted and bound by the boys they once were, and a single moment during an endless summer. A story about the one who wins, and everyone and everything that gets left behind.
Featuring Jesse Bergen, Ian Mikita, Kerri Woloszyn
Directed by Jane Walker
Stage Manager Kai Suzuki-Smith

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.
ARTISTS  Myriam Dion • Stan Douglas • Dianna Frid • Ron Gorsline • Miriam Rudolf • Ron Terada

When Covid-19 put a halt to the Museum's on-site operations, Scott played a pivotal role in helping the Museum transition to the digital world.

National Day of Prayer l Beneath the Surface l Folklorama Kickoff l Fundraising Garage Sale for Manitoba Pug Rescue l The Unbelievable Bargains "Fun Times Why Not" Album

Oodena Circle, The Forks, Winnipeg, MB

 #HonourtheApology    National event page        

At noon on Thursday, July 25 at venues across the country, Canadians, newcomers, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from all walks of life and religious denominations will reflect upon the impacts of Canada’s residential schools in a national moment of silence. 

This day is calling on the federal government to release all documents pertaining to the residential schools in Canada and to work toward the end of continued violence toward Indigenous peoples in Canada.

In response to University of Guelph historian Ian Mosby's published research that First Nations communities, and specifically thousands of children in residential schools, were unknowing subjects in biomedical experiments in malnourishment and hunger by federal government officials between 1942-52, we call on the federal government to honour its 2008 apology to the survivors of Residential Schools by immediately releasing all relevant documents to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

We are calling on all people of all faiths and backgrounds to attend and participate.

Open City Cinema presents:

Barry Doupé’s The Colors that Combine to Make White are Important

April 9 l Doors at 7

Video Pool, 100 Arthur Street, 3rd Floor

$5.00

Vancouver animator Barry Doupé explores the power structure within a failing Japanese glass factory. Two parallel storylines — one involving the investigation of a suspect employee, the other a stolen painting — converge in an exposition on gender and desire. Doupé’s computer-animated characters evolve through three distinct acts, looking for something to be found through a crisis of feeling.

Alluding to the office comedy 9 to 5 (1980), Yasujiro Ozu’s staid, heartwarming Good Morning (1959), and Luchino Visconti’s sexually-charged finale in Death in Venice (1971), Colors shifts between cultural reference points.

Preceeded by a selection of short films picked by Barry Doupé, featuring the work of:

Marina Roy

Sharon Kahanoff

Tamara Henderson

Aleesa Cohene

Barry Doupé's films have been screened at various venues, including the Ann Arbor Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Pleasure Dome and MOCCA (Toronto), Whitechapel Gallery and the Tate Modern (London).
