In honor of Manitoba's aboriginal community, the Urban Shaman Gallery, Water & Light Project and the Winnipeg Art Gallery produced a community art project.
Faces of our people: our mothers, our sisters, brothers, fathers, grandparents, friends and All Our Relatives. The project celebrates the beauty of our relations and all of Manitoba were invited to see and participate in the celebration.
The 40-foot tall video portraits were displayed to coincide with the Manito-Ahbee Aboriginal Festival November 3-5th.
