40 shining years
Lux et veritas floreant, or Let light and truth flourish, is the University of Winnipeg’s motto. It’s also a fitting title — and guiding theme — for a group exhibition […]
This exhibition marks the 40th anniversary of Gallery 1C03, a campus art gallery at the University of Winnipeg. Curated by Jennifer Gibson and Jenny Western, the exhibit features works by alumni artists such as KC Adams, Dee Barsy, and Scott Benesiinaabandan.
Adams, who completed her undergraduate degree at Concordia University and returned to the University of Winnipeg for her master's in cultural studies, explores technology's intersection with her Indigenous heritage through her art. Two pieces, 2025's Water Carrier and 2020's Birch Bark Technology: Gage'gajiwaan, illustrate this unique perspective.
The gallery serves as a vital space for communication and connection, especially for students who are new to art. Art provides a visceral entry point into complex topics and themes discussed in classes, making it an essential part of the university experience.
