🇧🇷A ARTE NUNCA FOI SÓ SOBRE AS PAREDES💪🏾 Sou cria da Brasilândia, Zona Norte de SP. Foi na rua que aprendi muita coisa que não se ensina em lugar nenhum. Aprendi a observar, questionar e entender que a arte pode ir muito além da estética. E usada de maneira correta tem um papel importante na sociedade! Desde de sempre, venho colocando minhas ideias, meu sangue meu amor, minhas revoltas e minhas inquietações nas paredes. A caminhada me trouxe até o Canadá, abriu outros caminhos e mudou minha forma de me expressar. Mas tem coisa que não muda, rapa. Raiz é raiz. Não estou dizendo que sou a única pessoa que pensa assim.. pelo contrário me inspiro muito em tanta gente por aí ! Carrego o Brasil no coração, onde quer que eu esteja e em tudo que eu faço, sou quem sou e me sinto orgulhoso de ser Brasileiro. mais não dá pra ficar quieto diante do que tá acontecendo, principalmente num momento tão importante pro futuro do nosso país. Minha arte sempre teve voz. Sempre questionei, provoquei e pintei aquilo que muita gente prefere não enxergar. Então, como é que agora eu vou ficar de bico fechado? E sou extremamente grato por ter feito isso junto a pessoas que assim como eu também tem o mesmo tipo de pensamento e visão ! Um respeito, amor e gratidão enorme que eu trago por vocês meus irmãos e irmãs de parede . Não tô aqui pagando de dono da verdade, muito menos dizendo que tenho todas as respostas. Mas tenho minhas convicções, minha história e minha responsabilidade com aquilo que represento. Mudei de país, mas não esqueci de onde vim. E não vou ficar em cima do muro só pra não incomodar. Da Brasilândia pro mundo. O Brasil segue comigo, na mente, no coração e na ponta do spray. Imagens de trabalhos que para mim são muito importantes para mim e que fazem parte da minha trajetória artística e mais importante como cidadão de uma nação foda que é on🇧🇷! Este momento é crucial para todos nós … cuidadões Tupiniquins faço sua parte faça consciente e mais importante pense no futuro de todos em sua vida 🙏🏾 Amor carinho e respeito 🫡 #obrasilnãocabenoquintaldeninguém #artivismo #artistabrasileiro #brasileirosnocanada #brunosmoky

Oct 17 – 7-11 pm ----- SO BELOW looks towards our bodies, sexuality, and pleasure as a source of power in the face of the increasing struggles our communities experience. Rooted in Winnipeg’s queer and 2-Spirit scene, the exhibition reflects on how we have always broken the mold to create new futures. ---- Vincent Wolfgang (they/them) is a 2-Spirit/Non-Binary Cree multidisciplinary artist from Gods Lake Narrows, who now lives in Winnipeg, MB. With 10+ years of photography experience and making their presence known, they have explored the many scenes Winnipeg has to offer and found freedom and community in the rave scene, the drag scene, and queer kink. Vincent pulls inspiration from various forms of art; from music, visual media, fiction, and life experiences, they capture and share what they see as beauty. @gorgefestival @synonymartconsultation @ghost_cub

Merci for everything @nbwpg 🛸 After 4 incredible years, Hyperart is taking a breath and stepping back from running its festival for Nuit Blanche. Looking back, we are truly moved by the ambitious, bold, community driven art we had the joy of presenting during this emblematic night in our city. We are so excited to see what our incredible partners at @ccfmanitobain / @cerclemoliere / @urbanshamangallery / @synonymartconsultation / @maisondesartistes put on for Nuit Blanche this year! You might even find some familiar faces… Nous sommes tellement fières de notre petite équipe, et surtout des artistes incroyables qui nous ont fait confiance et ​nous ont offert des moments inoubliables au fil des années. We feel a profound sense of gratitude and admiration for all the artists who brought their energy, vision and craft to our festival. Merci à nos partenaires hôtes au CCFM et au TCM qui ont relevé le défi avec nous et aux nombreux bénévoles qui ont rendu tout ça possible. Thank you to @urbanshamangallery & @synonymartconsultation for your brilliant curatorial vision throughout the years. Merci au @100nons et au @cjpmanitoba de nous avoir confié divers projets pour la relève de chez nous! A huge thanks to our production teams, with a special mention to @redroverentertainment for their generosity and @redtentwpg for keeping everyone at the festival safer. Big love to @kilterbrewing for putting the festival in canned form these last few years. We look forward to whatever the future may hold for Hyperart. Ce n’est qu’un au revoir. We’ll see you out there! — 
Hyperart is an artist collective led by @rayannahmusic x @sckuse that creates, curates and presents experimental multidisciplinary work in immersive settings. — Video shot by @bnbstudioswpg Soundscape par @kellybado x @rayannahmusic — Merci au @mbartscouncil + @winnipegartscouncil pour leur appui.
