mapping project created by Jaymez Jansen, which will breathe life into
the brutalist architecture of the old Public Safety Building. A new pop-up
architectural work by local collective InTheMiddle will literally set the stage
for DJ sets by Rhayne Vermette, AOKS, and Boogey The Beat, as well as for

Dominion: 16 Trajectories by Lawrence Bird
Dominion: 16 Trajectories by Lawrence Bird, a Winnipeg-
based urban designer, architect, and visual artist, will project
satellite images harvested from 16 trajectories across the
prairie landscape. The images are projection-mapped, with
accompanying audio, and explore how we have demarcated
and divided the prairies for colonization and profit – yet the
prairies (and their image) fight back.

floating reflects the emotional experience that occurs in

Seventy-two hand-sewn handbags made of mulberry

easily overlooked. It serves as a general metaphor of the

identity interacting with a new environment. As the paper
boat floats, it gradually absorbs the water, conforming to its
surroundings. As a result, the boat is dissolving.

This project is a collaborative interactive video installation
in which the public can immerse themselves into two
landscapes; Kristin Snowbird’s birthplace of Pine Creek, MB
and Theo Pelmus’ home of Romania. The work is made up

words. The projection will consist of the landscapes from
each home, with photos and words in Ojibwe/Salteaux and

there will be words said in each others’ language: Ojibwe/

translation of these words.

Insomnia by Antiscian Productions
Insomnia is a movement based performance piece that
explores the relationship between sleep and restlessness.
It is inspired by the secrets hidden in the darkness, the
only time when we are in a state of unknowing. When we
sleep we are unaware of ourselves and our surroundings.
Even those who suffer from insomnia often experience a
warped perspective of consciousness which is clouded by
exhaustion and frustration. The performance will capture the     MAP LOCATION

hours of the night. Audiences are invited to come and go as

Keep Me Awake – A Storytelling Shuttle Service
by Peg City Car Co-Op
On buses, commuters overshare to lighten their load. In taxis,
strangers let details of their day out of their mouths like fireflies:
in bright, short bursts. On airplanes, passengers confide their
fears, shining light into the darkness. On long road trips, the
night driver asks a favour: “Tell me a story to keep me awake.”
A storyteller will travel with the patrons, sharing a ride, and a story,
to transport the body and the mind in two directions at once.              MAP LOCATION

The Light Within The Tunnel

Regardless of one’s individual life, there are material and
immaterial elements of being human that we all share: sense,
movement, sound, emotion and thought. Talia Shaaked and
Madeline Rae invite you to experience The Light Within the Tunnel.

Mapping People

Mapping People is a new media interactive installation. Viewers
trigger a triangulated map through their presence in space,
generating a projection of a real-time drawing that is continually
evolving. This installation aims to engage imagined and real
space through movement, and explores the potential for
exchanges and new experiences.

Overshadow 1 by Lyla Rye
Inspired by the space-age design and utopian aspirations
of the 1970’s, Overshadow, by Toronto artist Lyla Rye, re-
imagines an iconic geodesic dome as a planet in a strange
eclipse. The illusion created obscures this vision of the future
with images of contemporary life shot by the artist’s teenage
daughter. By simultaneously generating and exposing how the
eclipse illusion is created, the video reflects on generations of
human experience.                                                       MAP LOCATION

Riot Resist Revolt Redux by Frances Koncan

of the installation as a souvenir. Visitors will be presented with
a map of Winnipeg, where they can remove a small peg from
a location that resonates with them. Upon removal of this
peg, the piece will become illuminated with light, inviting the
visitor to leave behind a memory. Each peg is designed to fit
on a keychain and becomes a small memento to provide a               MAP LOCATION

Rattling Change by OliveUs Collective
“There was music playing in the air, and the energy of
the night felt so alive that she started to dance. As she
danced, she looked out the window to the bustling streets
of Winnipeg, and she saw that a crowd had gathered below
to watch her and share in her impromptu celebration of the
night.” We dreamt of having a celebration in our apartment,
but with the whole city! Pretty lights, wispy fabrics, chocolate
cake, quiet conversations in corners, and the feeling that

anything can happen. Join us in the McKim Building for our
creation of dance, music, theatre and art. We want to feel the
night change us, and for you to share in that too.

What makes Nuit Blanche Winnipeg special is how organic it feels
for those who attend, and how the entire community comes together,
chipping in to make it bigger and better every year. The majority of
NBW events are independently organized and hosted by cultural
institutions, artists, musicians, businesses and performers. This year
is a record breaking year but luckily you have all night to explore!

Ce qui fait Nuit Blanche Winnipeg une expérience spéciale, est
le sentiment organique que l’événement procure à ceux qui y
prennent part, ainsi que la façon dont toute la communauté se
réunit et fait sa part afin de rendre l’événement plus grandiose et
plus réussi que l’année précédente. La majorité des activités de
NBW sont organisées indépendamment, et hébergées par des
