The Flash Photography Festival, running from April 1-30, 2025, will transform Manitoba into a province-wide celebration of photography. This milestone year for the festival, founded in 2014, features 56 venues across Manitoba, showcasing photographers of all levels.
WAG-Qaumajuq will host exclusive programming and exhibitions, including Dominique Rey's solo show, 'MOTHERGROUND'. Originally opened in October 2024 and extended through June 28, 2025, the exhibition explores themes of fertility, maternity, and creative labor through photography, sculpture, collage, and video installation. 'MOTHERGROUND' offers an immersive narrative about the transformative power of motherhood.
The festival's expansive reach, from Winnipeg galleries to rural and northern institutions, underscores its growing impact on the international art scene, highlighting the diverse talent within Manitoba's photographic community.
