under PRESSURE: climate conscious design + build
This year’s Winnipeg Design Festival (WDF) boldly embraces under PRESSURE: climate conscious design + build, drawing inspiration from the iconic David Bowie and Queen anthem. It aims to ignite discussions, spur action, and promote collaboration on climate-conscious design + build, envisioning the future of Winnipeg 150 years from now. The festival, running throughout September 2024, will include a series of workshops, tours, installations, and public events for all ages including opportunities to participate in the construction of a 3D map of our dream city. Storefront welcomes Fête Jockey Events as the 2024 curation team.

OPEN SHOP
The Winnipeg Design Festival welcomes designers, architects and firms to co-host our Open Shop Hours and work with the public to build a 3D map of Winnipeg in the year 2174.
We’re building a future Winnipeg. What will our city look like 150 years from now, and how can it be more climate-friendly? If you can imagine it, we can build it together. Join us for hands-on workshops led by artists, designers, students, and professionals as we construct a 3D model of our future home. These workshops are open to all ages and will culminate in a public installation premiering at Nuit Blanche.
