À propos
In her latest exhibition, The birds sing…, artist Barb Hunt continues a decades-long investigation into the impacts of armed conflict. Here, combat fatigues worn by soldiers from many nations serve as muse, collaborator, and human proxy, their varied camouflage patterns hiding and revealing complex ideas, beliefs, and resonances related to war. Hunt re-uses military uniforms, adding stitching and embroidery to transform the works into sculptural artworks.
This project was made possible through the generous support of the Manitoba Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, and Winnipeg Arts Council.

Manitoba Craft Council
The Manitoba Craft Council is for people who love contemporary craft: professional artists and artisans, collectors and connoisseurs, DIYers and armchair enthusiasts. It’s for people who value the originality and quality of the handmade, who find meaning in making. It’s for the dreamers and schemers who seek to reinterpret the material and cultural traditions of the past through a contemporary lens. It’s for people who have to forge, carve, weave, fold, sculpt, knit. And for their friends and supporters. It’s for you. See, smell, touch, explore the myriad expressions of contemporary craft in Manitoba and be part of a community that is shaped, motivated, and defined by its love of craft.
