Subconscious City - Dempsey, Shawna; Milan, Lorri

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to upper spine edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Subconscious City examines the often hidden underpinnings of Winnipeg - its myths, its vacant lots, its forgotten communities, its hidden gems - and reveals a complicated picture of place. Created as a companion to the contemporary art exhibition of the same name curated by Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, this publication delves into the nature of our urban social and physical landscape, and its power to shape identity. Nine writers explore the interiors and exteriors of Winnipeg. This volume includes poetry and lyrics ranging in topic from the benefits of zero growth to the Aboriginal urban experience. Richly illustrated with artwork from the exhibition, These artists have always been vocal about the complex and marvelous city that Winnipeg is, as well as what it could be. Through their activism and their art, they assert inspired and nuanced images of place.
