ARTiculate Our Rights

Temporary Exhibition: Exterior and 1800 sq. ft. interior – Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Role: Design Director / Art Director

 

ARTiculate Our Rights began as a project to mark the 150th anniversary of Manitoba becoming a province of Canada. Young people aged 13 to 18 were asked to submit artwork for consideration. More than 100 diverse works were chosen for two phases of display.

​

The first phase of this exhibition opened at The Forks, a gathering place where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet. Art by 26 youths was presented on 13 large installations throughout the grounds. The second phase included a 1800 sq.ft. indoor mixed media presentation featuring all student submissions displayed across a 70' wide x 10' tall projection screen. The exhibition also included interviews from teachers, artists, curators and educators reflecting on human rights, art, and the work displayed.
