  • My City's Still Breathing (But Barely It's True) Through Buildings Gone Missing Like Teeth
    MY CITY’S STILL BREATHING a symposium exploring the arts, artists and the city NOVEMBER 4-7, 2010 WINNIPEG, MANITOBA CULTURAL CAPITAL OF CANADA www.artsforall.ca FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Alix Sobler Marketing and Communications (204) 918-0164 [email protected] Why MY CITY’S STILL BREATHING? What does it mean for a city to breathe? Those of us who live in cities know that the concrete and glass of our urban sur- roundings add up to more than the sum of their parts. Our cities have moods, humours, opinions, personalities. They suffer from illnesses, they burst forth in jubilation, they move from ennui to optimism with the changing of the weather. Our cities are alive, and therefore, it is no wonder they are breathing. We chose the lyrics of The Weakerthan’s Left and Leaving , written by John K. Samson, as the title of this symposium because it is our belief that it is the art of a city that makes it breathe. The title reflects the precarious situation we are in as city dwellers: the use of the word “still” implies the breathing continues, but is not guaranteed forever. It is both a declaration of pride in our city, and ac- knowledgement of the threat we face if we devalue our arts and artists. Without that constant breath of art and creativity, a city would be still; never growing, never progressing, never bringing in ideas and sending out discoveries. As a life-long Winnipeg artist, John K. Samson is especially in-tune with the delicate breath of a city like Winnipeg.
