SUMMARY:Show me where it hurts --an exhibition by Hannah Doucet
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception for a new exhibition by Hannah Doucet at Galerie Buhler Gallery \n“The show is focused on the relationship between puppetry and spaces of pediatric illness. The installation brings together finger puppets\, a larger-than-life children’s fold out puppet theater and a book of poetic scores for puppets plays\, amongst other things…”  -–Hannah Doucet \nIn this vibrant installation of fabric flowers\, fruits\, and insect puppets\, as well as a grand plush theatre\, Hannah Doucet has taken the still life painting tradition as a starting point for thinking about self-awareness and agency in relation to illness and healthcare. Her creations have a bright simplicity and are funny and clever\, their scale sometimes shrinking the viewer’s perspective to that of a kid’s\, which is part of the point. Use of puppets in paediatric healthcare can help reduce anxiety and so make it easier for small patients to interact with their clinicians\, a relationship Doucet is particularly interested in. With care and questioning\, she highlights the inherent anarchy of illness and the dynamics that form around it.

SUMMARY:TedXWaverley
DESCRIPTION:We live in a world running at full volume. Updates\, algorithms\, opinions\, pressure. Amid all that noise\, harmony feels like a luxury. But what if harmony isn’t quietness\, it’s clarity? What if balance isn’t the middle point between extremes\, but the art of knowing when to move\, when to pause\, and when to listen?\nTEDxWaverley was born to be that space: a human-scale event where ideas\, art\, and emotion meet in perfect tempo. We believe intelligence is not only rational\, it’s emotional\, intuitive\, and shared. When we mix logic with empathy\, data with music\, and ambition with kindness\, something new happens: wisdom emerges.\nOur goal is to help people feel and think better\, not just know more. We don’t sell tickets: we craft experiences that give people back a sense of balance\, between doing and being\, learning and resting\, thinking and feeling. We want every talk\, every pause\, every sound and color in the room to remind people of one truth: that progress and peace can coexist.\nAs a team\, we’re the guardians of calm in a noisy world. We design with empathy\, communicate with transparency\, and keep our focus on people\, not metrics. Our success isn’t measured in followers or views\, it’s measured in the quiet “Oh! Now I get it”  moments our audience carries home.\nTEDxWaverley stands for creative thought with human warmth. For elegance without ego. For innovation with purpose. This is HARMONY: The Art of Balance\, not a slogan\, but the rhythm we live and work by.

SUMMARY:On the Long Road to Reconciliation: A story exchange
DESCRIPTION:Community Works Manitoba has scheduled a second retrospective screening of short video stories produced by community members. Six storytellers\, 3 Indigenous and 3 non-Indigenous\, will screen short personal videos and then reflect on the production process and on the role of stories in their life journeys. This will be followed by a Q & A and with the opportunity for audience members to continue the conversation over refreshments in the theatre foyer.  \nOur last retrospective screening in Jan. 2025 called Strangers No More: Stories of Culture and Identity was extraordinary.  We look forward to having you join us for this second screening. Tickets are free but you need to register.  \nHere’s a comment from an audience member from the last event. We know that the May event will offer the Winnipeg community a rich experience.   \n“My heart is full with a bushel of stories. Six amazing lived experience stories. Tender. Some big\, some small\, but every story significant and every story a gift. I thought my heart would burst.” Cate Friesen\, The Story Source
