A groundbreaking virtual gallery, supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program, is offering Indigenous youth in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a unique opportunity to engage with the latest in digital arts and technology. 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 integrating gamification principles, this program helps foster a deep understanding of how digital tools can be used for artistic expression. Through this innovative approach, youth are not only learning technical skills but also gaining the confidence to curate their own digital artworks and experiences. In collaboration with Google News and other digital platforms, the project showcases how Indigenous youth are using cutting-edge technologies to enhance their creativity and expand their artistic horizons. 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. Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this initiative reflects the ongoing commitment to community-based innovation and education, with a focus on building digital literacy and fostering a new generation of Indigenous artists in the world of AI and interactive media.
