#Repost @mergingmindsets • • • • • • T #Repost @mergingmindsets • • • • • • The Merging Mindsets Conference will feature an incredible Installation Showcase highlighting how artists are using tech. We are thrilled to have Faisal Anwar @faisalanwarstudio return to exhibit his piece CharBagh! ‘CharBagh’ (quadrilateral garden) is a participatory digital art project by new-media artist Faisal Anwar creating ornate geometric patterns through conversations in real time. Modelled on the traditional grid compositions of Persian gardens, each pattern grows and shifts in response to data generated on social media and collected by the artist. The first time presented in 2015 on the façade of the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Anwar’s project encourages the public to meaningfully participate in online conversation in order to empower social change. Last year the work was part of the exhibition titled Garden in the Machine, at the Surrey Art Gallery, where Anwar led focused workshops with community groups discussing themes related to sustainable food production, climate change, and peoples' changing relationships with nature. In the installation, the structured Islamic geometrical scheme becomes a powerful metaphor working with open data and investigating today’s sociopolitical territories. The data is collected using Instagram through thematically curated hashtags to generate a conversation about climate crises in our cities and and are relation to it. Using creative coding, algorithms, the artist morphs these photos into ornate geometric designs. This project exemplifies how social media can be a tool for positive social change. #MergingMindsets #projectionmapping #projectionart #winnipeg #socialchangethroughsocialmedia

On March 6 I will be presenting the following seminar about social media and mental health as part of Merging Mindsets @creativemanitoba🌌:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Social Media platforms can be an integral part of building a creative brand and online community. In today’s society, these apps are one of the first go-to’s for potential clients to instantly understand and connect with your brand. Apps like Instagram and Facebook can require countless hours of your attention – creating content, editing, responding to comments and messages, interacting with others in the community and more.  But what is this constant connection to media, messages, and information doing to our mental health? This presentation will discuss how to recognize when social media use is becoming a detriment to one’s mental health. In addition, we will talk about how to set up boundaries to engage in a healthy, moderated way, while still connecting with your audience and share resources available for those who are struggling to maintain balance.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ About Merging Mindsets⁣ (@mergingmindsets): In cities around the world, the creative arts and interactive digital media sectors are bringing their respective skills together to imagine and create exciting new events, art and products – merging digital technologies with artistic practice. In Manitoba, we’re ready to showcase what our vibrant arts community and interactive digital media sector can do together.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🤩In additon, I will be having my show opening @creativemanitoba called Mystical Furry Friends and More featuring works from my Mystical Furry Friends showcase, and well as some paintings featuring new friends like this owl piece entitled "Forbidden Fruit". Come join me after my talk until 9pm. It is during March's @firstfridayswinnipeg 🤩!

Our final artist of the evening is Charlie Rae Wal Our final artist of the evening is Charlie Rae Walker (Aka A Raven Called Crow). Charlie is a multi-disciplinary artist hailing from Unceded Lekwungenand Wsanec Territories (Victoria BC) and Gadigal/Darug territory (Sydney, Australia). An art activist and an artists’ artist with a passion for self and social transformation, Charlie brews antidotes to the sad poisons of our times with meaningful connection, unrestrained creativity, vulnerability, curiosity and laughter. Their visual and performance art is so engaging that the lines begin to blur between reality and magic.
When Karen Jonsson spent her childhood summers exp When Karen Jonsson spent her childhood summers exploring the shores of Lake Winnipeg, collecting rocks and unearthing the clay beneath, an alchemist was born. Discovering the lustrous colours of the stones and watching her small clay creations withstand the heat of the campfire was the training ground for the gifted artist she has become - moulding that clay into pottery and capturing the unending beauty of the great outdoors with her camera. The magic she discovered as a child continues to leave her in awe and filled with a passion to share that with us. Karen Jonsson is much like that clay - there is an ancient, sacred quality afoot that is so much more than meets the eye. Karen will be selling pottery at the holiday showcase and sale tomorrow. See you there!
The crooked trail from graphic artist to paramedic The crooked trail from graphic artist to paramedicine and back has returned Sigrid Zueff to her first passion-visual art.

Performing at 8:30pm with members of her improv gr Performing at 8:30pm with members of her improv group, The Unglüd, is Kiva Simova! With the precision of a laser beam Kiva Simova exhibits her mastery of advanced overtone singing, whereby she splits her voice into two pitches simultaneously. When this pioneer improvises wordless soundscapes, be they ambient or raucously rhythmic, Kiva leaves you in awe. She applies this art form to genres where one would not expect such innovation. Few in the world have mastered this technique, and even fewer deliver it with as much soul - as Kiva’s peers attest. From solo CDs and film soundtracks, backing up pop mega- group Crash Test Dummies, folk trio member of the Wyrd Sisters, to Letterman and Saturday Night Live, to the Royal Albert Hall, and the steppes of central Asia, - Kiva heals and howls.

Her dedication to light and shadow – colour and bold brush strokes – is the key to the magic of the wild captured for a moment by her brush. Her invigorating and expressive compositions celebrate the vibrant life of nature’s stillness and transport us toward dreams amongst the trees. See Heather's work this Friday in the Members' Market at our holiday party. Dec 6, doors open at 5pm, 245 McDermot Avenue

With both Grammy and JUNO awards to her credit, Canadian singer/songwriter Jessee Havey has been a musical force for close to two decades. After touring the world as the unforgettable voice behind The Duhks, she has chosen to dedicate her next few decades to using that magnificent voice to lift us up - validate us - and remind us that we are of the light.

With a voice both soaring and sensitive, Jessee wraps you in a blanket of love and sends you off to make this world a better place. These days, her main creative endeavours are folk duo Nation of Two, a new kid’s music project, as well as serving as the Vice President of Girls Rock Winnipeg - an empowerment through music program for female, trans, two-spirit, and gender expansive youth and adults.
If you could imagine what colour joy might be - yo If you could imagine what colour joy might be - you may well find yourself lost in one of Earl Rina’s paintings. Blessed with both a male (Earl) and female (Rina) name by his Filipino family - he freely pursues the whimsical and entices his viewers to join him there. His adventures into colour can shed light into the darkest of places - leaving a trail of positivity and beauty in his wake. A life long learner, Earl’s passionate approach to his art should come with a warning - joy can be contagious! See Earl Rina's work this Friday at our Holiday Party Showcase and Sale!
Music, visual art, theatre...what more could you a Music, visual art, theatre...what more could you ask for?

That well-constructed tale made her mother grab a pen to take dictation but once Lauren learned to make letters herself she took to the page. Now represented by a prestigious Toronto literary agency, she is the author of four traditionally-published books and has had work appear in multiple anthologies and periodicals. A gifted teacher, Lauren also holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing and a college certificate in teaching adults and regularly facilitates workshops and retreats across North America and online, including yoga and writing retreats, all designed to generously and authentically help individuals deeply connect with their creative work.
