Public art around The Forks

"Flash Wall" by Kiana Jade

This wallpaper is a collection of the tattoo artist’s hand drawn designs. These are all original images that capture joy, playfulness, and the beautiful imagination of Kiana Jade. Flash tattoos are predesigned images that can be replicated. The repetition on the wall speaks to flash walls often found in a tattoo parlour.

Back

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
