JUNXIONS, curated by Justin Bear L’Arrivee, features work by Winnipeg Indigenous street artists Marco Muller (Super Empee) and Zac Ironstand. Drawing on Homi K. Bhabha’s Third Space theory, the exhibition challenges perceptions of ‘urban decay’ by critically engaging with abandoned shopping carts and broken bus shelters. JUNXIONS critiques the colonial push to “clean up” neighborhoods, displacing people and erasing vibrant urban narratives – as seen and Winnipeg and throughout Canada in the name of urban development. The works offer an alternative perspective (a junction), enunciating the stories of those who occupy these spaces and celebrates hybrid urban indigenous ways-of-being.
