What does it mean to commit to performance so fully that it transforms how you move through the world? Winnipeg artist Shawna Dempsey reveals in this week's episode how performance art can be a radical tool for change. Dempsey recalls the inspiration behind some of her and collaborator Lori Millan's iconic works like Lesbian National Parks and Services, where she and Millan became uniformed officials "protecting the lesbian wilds" while educating the public about the inherent queerness of nature. Their performances blended humour, authority, and subversion to create transformative encounters decades before mainstream acceptance of LGBTQ+ identities. Learn about a time in the not-so distant-past where donning a ranger uniform emblazoned with the word "lesbian" forced constant coming out in 1990s Canada – a time when queer people had few legal protections and homophobia was abound. Dempsey and Millan are still creating work, like Thunderhead, Canada's new LGBTQ2+ monument commemorating victims of The Purge. The financial realities of life as a non-commercial artist pose a counterpoint to creative freedom, and Dempsey explores how she walks this tightrope. Despite international recognition and exhibiting at prestigious institutions like MoMA and the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Dempsey remembers that sometimes the most they earned in a year was under $19,000 each while touring five months of the year. "Supporting oneself as an artist in Canada is very challenging, especially if you don't make anything saleable," she explains, detailing how they survived through teaching, writing, and "pretty much anything for $50."As co-executive director of Mentoring Artists for Women's Art (MAWA), Dempsey confronts the persistent inequality in visual arts, where women artists in Canada still earn only 70 cents for every dollar male artists make. Aspiring artists will find wisdom in Dempsey's journey – from playing pretend as the famous artist "Miss Shawna from New York" as a child to creating groundbreaking feminist work that's changed lives. Her advice to artists? "Do it. What a wonderful way to live, because you get to go into the studio and think: what do I want to say today?"

Guest: Conrad Sweatman, Winnipeg-Born Arts Communicator Seg 2: Is Gen Z bringing back the landline telephone? Gen Z has displayed a fascination with technology that dates back to the 2000s embracing items like flip phones, Ipods and digital cameras. Could they be bringing back the landline telephone?

In this special collaboration episode with Knockabout Media, host Soleil Launière interviews a variety of guests to discuss the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI). Fifty years ago the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) transformed the art world forever.

Their goals: encourage other First Nations artists to paint, create space in national and commercial galleries for First Nations art, and inspire youth. From Expo 67 to their groundbreaking exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and beyond, learn more about the lives and artistic practices of the PNIAI and its members, and the Group's on-going influence, today.

This episode of Unreserved is all about aunties — why we love them and all the ways they lift up our communities. Join us in the Auntie Circle at Katita Cafe in the Winnipeg Art Gallery to get the Auntie 101. Sonya Ballantyne, Heather Bjorklund and Joanne MacDonald give us the tea on what an auntie is in Indigenous family and community, and share some sweet and funny auntie stories. Toronto's Call Auntie Clinic started out as an impromptu healthcare hotline at the start of the pandemic, but it has since grown into a cozy space to come and visit. The clinic is staffed by Indigenous doctors, midwives and birth workers like Niiohontéhsha A'nó:wara, Krysta Williams, Ryan Giroux and Cheryllee Bourgeois who provide reproductive and sexual health services, using a kinship model. Tenille Campbell is a poet, photographer and auntie. She says not all aunties are sweet, gentle and kind. So she wrote the poem “We aren't all nice aunties” and invited many self-identified aunties in her life to record videos of themselves reading the poem. She shares her big auntie energy! The podcast, Auntie Up! features Indigenous women talking about the important stuff like missing and murdered Indigenous girls and women and the effects of lateral violence in our community. But they also talk about boujee bannock and the politics of bead work. Journalist, author and storyteller Tanya Talaga says she created the podcast to give space to the Aunties in our communities and help share their important voices with the world.

Robert Houle. Sandy Bay, 1998-99. Oil on canvas, black and white photograph + colour photograph on canvas, Masonite, 300 x 548. 4 cm. Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Acquired with funds from the President's Appeal 2000 and with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program © Robert Houle. Reading this work from left to right, Houle assembles a black and white photograph, a colour photograph, and three vertical rectangle canvases. In the top left colour photograph, an older white priest stands in a garden in front of an ivy covered niche with a virgin mary icon, surrounded by a bright blue summer sky. This is Father Chion who was widely liked in Sandy Bay First Nation, where the artist is from, because he spoke Saulteaux and was kind. Below this is a black and white photograph of two priests and a group of young indigenous children standing in rows on the steps of a brick building. This is an image of a First Communion at which Robert's sister Marilyn is present. We move from the two photographs to the first oil painting of a building and finally to two abstract colour field paintings. In the first oil painting, the Sandy Bay Residential School appears in a cool blue fog with words from a saulteaux hymn Houle's mother sang to him: “ON SAM KI KISEWATIS ANA MANITOWIYAN” (“Oh you are so kind and so treasured although you are god-like”) (Ks are pronounced as Gs). The second oil painting is a thin vertical dark blue night scene of a curved shoreline with evergreen trees on Lake Manitoba at Sandy Bay. Finally on the far right is a swirling red canvas with black shadows and streaks that suggest the lower half of a figure in a dress-like garment with long bell sleeves. Abstract wavy yellow brush strokes create a horizontal line across the canvas and an orange vertical line with a pink u on the top is in the middle of the canvas. The painting is meant to represent Sister Clotilde who was one of the most abusive nuns at the school. Houle revisits memories of attending the Sandy Bay Residential School in order to let them go.

00:00 - WAS I WRONG TO DO WHAT I DID? Brett here -- I dropped my car off today at a large retailer so they could do some work on it. I was in the store for two minutes. Yes, they had a big sign that said all bags must be checked, but I didn't bother because I walked in, handed in my key, and walked out. As I was leaving, a clerk asked to inspect my bag. I was insulted, and said no. Was I wrong? Should I have just let him check the stupid bag? 37:08 - Hailey Kostynuik, local powerlifting champion who will represent Canada at the World Championships in Belarus, but she needs your help to get there! She is just over halfway to her fundraising goal. She took the silver last year, let's help her take the gold this year! 53:41 - Carolyn Klassen, therapist with Conexus Counselling -- When I go for walks, I tend to walk fast, and I'm a big guy. I often give people a wide berth so as not to startle them or intimidate them. Am I being hypersensitive? That leads to a discussion about how we are perceived to society, and how does that weigh on us. 72:25 - Eleanor McCain, creator and performer of "True North: The Canadian Songbook" to celebrate Canada 150. She is doing three shows with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra May 26-28, in a concert that celebrates the music of Leonard Cohen, Bryan Adams, Anne Murray, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and many more. 79:20 - Ticket giveaway for Snake Oil Gets Twisted ft. Dee Snider of Twisted Sister 83:22 - Jason Syvixay, Chair of Marketing for "Art In Bloom", which is happening this weekend at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, featuring a 44-foot wide, 16-foot tall floral art piece created by 20 Winnipeg florists, using 20,000 flowers! 90:58 - Richard Cloutier & Julie Buckingham tee up THE NEWS

We go back to the beginning of the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1912, and even a bit further back than that! Andrew Kear explains the art scene in Canada at the end of the 19th century, and a few local experts on Winnipeg History talk about what was going on 100 years ago.
Many designs were submitted for the 1968 contest to find a new building for the Winnipeg Art Gallery to live in. We describe some of the best architectural proposals that never made it. Plus, some interesting Winnipeg Trivia! Did you know the Budweiser Clydesdales were from Shea's Brewery here in Winnipeg?
