More Info
Join us tomorrow at 12:10pm for a special artist talk by Chicago-based artist Barbara Koenen. Admission to the talk is $5.

Since 2001 Koenen's work has involved recreating Afghani war rugs in public performances. The rugs were created out of spices and seeds using a technique similar to that of sand mandalas created by Buddhist monks.

Koenen is in Winnipeg to participate in the conference My City's Still Breathing organized by the Winnipeg Arts Council where she will be speaking about the role of art in city-making. Her talk at the WAG will focus on her own art practice.
