From September 28th to October 28th in Stephen Juba Park, send + receive presents Shimmering, an audio work by artist Skye Callow. Located beneath the pedestrian bridge commemorating the former Ross Creek, just past the junction of Waterfront Drive and Bannatyne Avenue, Shimmering launches the twenty-sixth edition of send + receive on this year’s Nuit Blanche.

Skye Callow is an artist based on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba, originally from Sandy Hook, Manitoba. Through image making, sound, and installation practices, her work explores the magic of our ecological and metaphysical worlds and engages in the somatic experience of being in relation to the biosphere; a motif of ecology, self, and the land continuously presents itself. Skye is currently investigating the subjects of ecological empathy and hyperobjects, and the limits and possibilities of perception.

Skye holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours Degree from the University of Manitoba’s School of Art. Her work has been exhibited at notable venues in Winnipeg, including aceartinc., PLATFORM Centre for Photographic and Digital Arts, and the Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art. She was featured in the 2022 Flash Photography Festival as an emerging artist and is the recipient of the 2024 PLATFORM Photography Award, with an upcoming solo exhibition in March 2025. Skye has also been active in film programming initiatives, working with the Winnipeg Film Group, independently, and as a member of the Open City Cinema Collective for the Winnipeg Underground Film Festival.
