Works by over 50 artist

"The exhibition, which included work by over 50 artists spanning 500 years of image-making, (wildly) speculated that Winnipeg is a city haunted by the ghosts of its traumatic social history. This history includes (but certainly is not limited to ) the genocide of First Nations peoples, the dispossession of the Métis, the hardships endured by Icelandic immigrantsfounding a new republic at Gimli, the arrivals of Russian Mennonites fleeing persecution and Jewish holocaust survivors in search of a safe haven, the exploitation of impoverished European immigrants (culminating in the spectacular 1919 Winnipeg General Strike) and the monumental struggles of women to attain full citizenship."
