UNSTACKING THE DECK: A GAME OF CHANGE
TOWARD EQUITY IN ARCHITECTURE.
Unstacking the Deck, a euphemism for breaking down biases, consists of a double deck of playing cards featuring early women architects who studied and worked in Manitoba: from the first woman B.Arch graduate from the University of Manitoba in 1932, to women who began careers in Manitoba in the 1960-70s.
Cover art on the cards incorporates the painting “Breath of Life” by Ojibwe artist Jackie Traverse. Encircled by blossoms of Mother Earth, these women – with dragonflies arising from their breath – evoke the many generations of Turtle Island’s first women who did not need university degrees to build a harmonious world.
