Living Prairie City

Using a community learning framework, the University of Winnipeg's Institute of Urban Studies, in partnership with Winnipeg's Art City and the Saskatoon Community Youth Arts Programming Inc., will explore the theme of Canada's participation in Expo 2010 which is The Living City: inclusive, sustainable, creative.

Through workshops and discussions offered by the community partner in each city, the Institute will guide a reflection on the prairie perspective of the Living City. Academics, researchers and young people in Winnipeg and Saskatoon will use multiple mediums such as visual art, the written word and a blog to share their thoughts and ideas. Works will be showcased on an evolving website, and the project will culminate with the production of a public legacy art piece in each city.
