A citywide art exhibit in Winnipeg is trying to dispel some of the racial stereotypes that exist about First Nations people
The artist behind the project is KC Adams. It consists of pairs of photos of indigenous people from around the city, as well as their stories and details of their lives. The left picture gives some of the stereotypes, while the one on the right gives the actual story behind the face.
The photographs were first shown to the public via social media, where they were found by Urban Shaman Gallery, which is an artist-run centre in Winnipeg.
The gallery is presenting the series, which began on March 19th. The works will be displayed throughout the city in various ways, including at bus stops, on billboards, and building video screens.
A printing company can help with this type of a project by producing Posters and other reproductions of the original artwork for display, and also for sale to those interested in owning a piece of the exhibit for themselves.
According to the gallery’s owner, he feels that this is a good way for the city and the artistic community to come together to make a difference, and he hopes there will be other opportunities to do this in the future.
Funding for the project is coming from the United Way, the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, and the Winnipeg Foundation, as well as a crowdfunding campaign.Get a Free Quote for Posters
