This initiative is fueled by a partnership with the Manitoba Arts Council and is centered around participatory media arts, empowering young creators with hands-on experiences in game design, virtual galleries, AI image generation, prompt engineering, and coding. The gallery serves as a platform for cultivating critical digital arts literacy, encouraging the exploration of interactive media, curation, and AI technologies.

By offering access to the OpenAI Researcher Access Program’s resources, the project equips young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape, while also encouraging the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives in the digital arts.
