"All the Stories We're Not Telling About Winnipeg"
We know a city from the stories we tell about the city. But, we can also know something about a city from the stories we don't tell about it. Winnipeg is no different. Some of these stories we tell are about celebrating everything the community has to offer, while others are about all of the things that make the city a difficult place to love. However, there are still other stories that fall somewhere between the two, based on the personal narratives we all chart as we live, work, play, and move throughout the city. These stories of our everyday experiences are the ones that we don't hear enough about.
You are invited to participate in the creation of a sprawling series of posters featuring the titles of all the stories Winnipeg isn't telling, written by you. Facilitated by Broken City Lab, this workshop will begin with shared story telling, community mapping, and DIY design tactics and culminate in an exhibition at Martha Street Studio, of all the posters.
