Outdoors at The Forks
What human rights matter to youth today? What kind of future do they envision? In this vibrant art exhibition, Manitoba youth express their views about human rights for themselves, their families, and their communities. Their thought-provoking artwork covers a range of issues that impact us all.
ARTiculate Our Rights began as a project to mark the 150th anniversary of Manitoba becoming a province of Canada. Young people aged 13 to 18 were asked to submit artwork for consideration. More than 100 diverse works were chosen for two phases of display.
The first phase of this exhibition takes place outdoors at The Forks starting in July 2020. A second version of the exhibition will take place in 2021 in the Museum’s Level 6 Expressions gallery.
Outdoor exhibition
Art by 26 youths will be presented on 13 large installations throughout The Forks – a gathering place where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet, located adjacent to the Museum. This exhibition will run from July 15 to October 31, 2020 (unless weather forces an earlier closure).
To ensure accessibility for visitors of all abilities, users will be able to use their mobile devices to retrieve text-to-speech and visual descriptions from QR codes at each installation.
