Gillian Crawford is a self-described creative and grief walker of Métis and settler ancestry, living on Treaty One Territory. She is the creator of The Connection Desk, a small participatory public art installation in Winnipeg’s North End that explores grief and invites meaningful engagement.

Her eclectic and ever-evolving practice spans multiple mediums including poetry, photography, and installation. Her work is deeply rooted in the landscapes of home, exploring identity and uncovering the sacred in everyday life. Since the death of her father in 2024, Crawford has been transmuting a grief larger than her physical form into art, connection, and community—meeting herself anew along the way and discovering what each evolving self has to offer the world.

Une ligne horizontale transpercée par un regard serpenté suivant un mouvement vertical d’un levé du soleil, une envie sincère pour de nouveaux horizons, à la recherche du bien être et a la connaissance de l'être, éliminer parfois le malaise du manque de savoir vis a vis a notre propre existence en quête de l'Autre , parler, partager, communiquer avec des esprit créatifs, profiter tout simplement de cette source d’énergie qui est l'humain, tell’ est l’essence essentiel de ma propre volonté.

Olivia Cassie (she/her) is a local multidisciplinary artist whose work touches on self exploration, acceptance and making peace with the past. Growing up undiagnosed autistic, biracial and queer, Olivia often felt like an outcast and internalized these feelings into her adult life. In 2023, she connected with an artistic practice that allowed her to safely explore these feelings and the other traumas from her youth. Through portraiture, her work depicts raw emotions of loss, sorrow and bittersweet hope which helps her feel kinship with others. Olivia hopes that, through delicate displays of feeling, she can gain a better understanding of her own inner world and find her place in the world moving around her.

Erica Wilson is a Saulteaux Artist on Treaty 1 Territory. Her art is rooted in Authenticity, Curiosity, Humor and Sacred Rage. Erica collaborates as an artist for community but is branching out into solo projects for 2026/27.

Her personal artistic style is a slower process to honor the bond between mind and hands in theatre that includes: mask making, costume building and puppetry. The balance for the body is tying it together with contemporary movements and burlesque.

Where she thrives is within community spaces and creating celebrations. Currently the Arts community director for medium-sized organizations and board member of the Winnipeg Arts Council. Past highlights: Creation advisory circle member with Indigenous Youth Roots and the National Screen Institute as co-manager for the TikTok Accelerator for Indigenous Creators.

The foundations of her skills are being a facilitator conducting theatre based workshops on topics of communication, public speaking and channeling group creativity strategies.
