Action through Art workshop: What if the river was a person?

What if the river was a person? If it held personhood status, what rights would that provide the river, if any? Nibi is an ongoing work that poses the concept of the Red River and Lake Winnipeg gaining personhood through supporting the work of others that have been advocating on behalf of these waterways. Embedded in the project is a collective worldview that water is sacred. 

Join Jaimie Isaac, Just Waters Artist-in-Residence in a workshop that promotes collective care through building resonant relationships and connections with water. Invited guest Daniel Gladu Kanu of the Lake Winnipeg Indigenous Collective will share a large-scale watershed map, offering an experience in geography, history and culture. Participants will also engage in a collective activity of mixed media art-making and advocacy for water protection. (No art skills required!)
