Following a vibrant gathering with the Manitoba Arts Council, Jamie Bell and the amazing Val T. Lint connected in downtown Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. Their conversation reflected on the powerful dialogues that took place throughout the week, touching on community resilience, Indigenous leadership in the arts, and the future of inclusive cultural policy. The Exchange District, with its deep creative roots, served as the perfect backdrop for this meaningful exchange between longtime collaborators and advocates for the arts.
