Mariana Muñoz Gomez

I am a bilingual (Spanish, English) artist, writer, and curator who has been involved in various Winnipeg collectives, most recently active as an editor and co-founder of Carnation Zine. Artistic mediums I work with include photography, video, and printmaking. My artistic practice explores intersections of place, identity, and language with coloniality, temporality, and relation. I was the curator in residence at the Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq from 2021 to 2022, presenting a group exhibition on the theme of embodied knowledge. My writing has been published through platforms including Akimbo, C Magazine, and Terremoto.
From my experience in zine collectives, with artist-run centres, and through independent projects, I have taught youth and adult workshops, given presentations, and acted as a mentor. I enjoy interviewing other artists about their work as an event facilitator.
I bring my experience securing 24 grants over the past 7 years for myself and my collectives to my grant consultation and editing services for artists.

Karen Astrid Clark

I am a multidisciplinary visual artist, educator and visual arts advocate. I live at Schist Lake in Northern Manitoba. I work out of a studio there and at the Northern Visual Arts Centre (NorVA) in Flin Flon, MB.
Artist Statement Karen Clark
I am thrilled by the idea that people making and appreciating art works share so much with one another. This sharing is important to inspire conversations that are necessary in Canada today.
I paint the landscape here in the Boreal forest from the vantage point of my kayak or canoe. The terrain here is edgy and sharp. This is my cup of tea.
Most recently I find myself focused on the local mine processing site nestled next to us here in Flin Flon. It is a remarkable juxtaposition, over 600 hectares devoted to extraction, crushing , smelting, prepping ore and managing waste products from those mining processes.The working title, The Long GoodBye, refers to the boom and bust cycle common to mine based towns throughout the world.

Acknowledgement
My generation has seen the deconstruction of Canada’s colonial past. I follow the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the investigation of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls with a growing sense of horror and shame. Having my roots as a settler in this land, I have a shared sense of confusion and perplexity as to how we - settlers and Indigenous people - carry on together. As a result I find myself questioning my place in this landscape which is so fundamental to my sense of self.
