Windsocks Exposition 2023 | The Forks

Windsocks Exposition 2023

Posted on Feb 02, 2023 by The Forks Market

This year’s installations of The Forks Windsock Exposition 2023 offered local artists and organizations an opportunity to create something for everyone to enjoy.

Eight Winnipeg artists and organizations have breezed onto the walking and skating trails of the Nestaweya River Trail presented by The Winnipeg Foundation with colourful windsocks. From honouring the 25^th year of programming at Graffiti Art Programming to showcasing birds, immigrant life, favourite French words, the northern lights, and more, the windsocks add movement, colour, and intrigue to the frozen river playground.

Thank you to all the artists and organizations who shared their creativity with us!

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.
