Hey there, time traveller!

The Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba is hosting a free opening reception tomorrow night to celebrate the launch of two new exhibitions that take an in-depth look at Indigenous health and identity.
“Photovoice 1: A Healthy Neighbourhood” will be opening in the Community Gallery, and features work by local Indigenous youth exploring what makes a neighbourhood healthy.
The collaborative project between Brandon University, Brandon Friendship Centre and the Manitoba Métis Federation Southwest Region presents a collection of photographs and stories from the perspective of Indigenous youth in Brandon, examining what makes a neighbourhood healthy and possible solutions for change.
Opening in the Main Gallery is “In Dialogue,” an exhibition featuring 11 contemporary Indigenous artists who each take a different approach to examining how conversations continue to influence and shape their ever-changing identities.
Each piece in the exhibition — from Raven Davis’s painting on photographs to Peter Morin’s map of Tahltan territory — invites viewers into intimate discussions that work through what it means to be Indigenous today.
The two exhibitions are part of the AGSM’s commitment to present Indigenous artists’ voices in order to strengthen and enrich our region through culture and storytelling.
The reception takes place tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at the AGSM, and the exhibitions will remain on display until March 24.
