Join us tomorrow at 12:10pm for a special artist talk by Chicago-based artist Barbara Koenen. Admission to the talk is $5.

Since 2001 Koenen's work has involved recreating Afghani war rugs in public performances. The rugs were created out of spices and seeds using a technique similar to that of sand mandalas created by Buddhist monks.

Koenen is in Winnipeg to participate in the conference My City's Still Breathing organized by the Winnipeg Arts Council where she will be speaking about the role of art in city-making. Her talk at the WAG will focus on her own art practice.

Papa Mambo Kicks off the WAG’s Jazz Under the Rooftop Concerts

The WAG’s Muriel Richardson Auditorium heats up on Friday, September 24 with the first of the Gallery’s Jazz under the Rooftop winter concert series. The concert begins at 8pm.

Created by Chilean-born classical guitarist Rodrigo Muñoz in 1989, Winnipeg’s Papa Mambo started out as a spirited party band and soon became recognized as one of the most skillful, exciting and... important innovators in Canada’s Latin music scene. This freewheeling octet has always emphasized great playing and inspired arrangements. Their diverse array of jazz-inflected Latin rhythms and progressive musical ideas promises a performance full of hot solos, driving ensemble work, and tempo-shifting dance-floor madness. Papa Mambo is Latin music at its most modern and exciting.

Tickets are $21 for WAG members, $25 for adults, and $23 for students and seniors. Available in person at the WAG or through Ticketmaster. Your ticket includes free Gallery admission the day of the concert.
