World Photographic Cup Exhibit to be Hosted at Manitou a bi Bii Daziigae

November 10, 2025

As shared on the WPC Team Canada website:

Let yourself be inspired by the extraordinary exhibition of photographs that represented Team Canada on the world stage in this year’s World Photographic Cup – an Olympic-style team competition. This stunning collection will be exclusively on display at the Roundhouse Auditorium at Manitou a bi Bii daziigae from November 21 to December 4, 2025.

Featuring 30 stunning images from the current Canadian entry, along with 15 award-winning images from past Canadian medalists, this collection is a testament to the country’s talent, creativity and artistic excellence.

The collection also features local photographer, Jocelyne Hebert, whose image endured three rounds of curation for the opportunity to represent Canada. Her haunting natural portait titled “Should I Stay or Should I Go” was created to capture the deep struggles faced by youth and the challenges of living with mental illness.

WPC Team Canada would like to invite you to the opening reception on Thursday, November 20 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. where Jocelyne Hebert will present “Behind the Story – A Journey from Concept to Creation” about the process and inspiration of image competition.

This is exhibit supported by RRC Polytech’s Schroeder Institute of Entertainment and Media Arts. The Schroeder Institute supports creative industries and Manitoba in reaching the next level in this period of growth by ensuring that a pipeline of newly skilled local talent continues to flow and fill crucial industry roles, while engaging more deeply with industry partners and undertaking exciting opportunities to foster innovation through applied research.

Manitoba is increasingly becoming more competitive in creative areas across the prairies, the country and beyond. More productions are being filmed in Winnipeg and throughout the province, and more creative businesses are opening their doors while local companies are making their mark beyond our borders. Local training and talent are crucial to the success of the businesses that choose to operate here, and that is where RRC Polytech — and the Schroeder Institute — come in.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate, and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
