A burst of colour along main street, The Weave creates a temporal garden that transforms the site into a vibrant, playful space as people engage with the structures throughout the summer. A low net reaches up from the ground, creating opportunities to lounge in the sun or relax in the fort created below. A hammock allows people to sway in the wind, while high canopies mimic the tree foliage, creating shade, bird habitat and a bright splash of blue among the leaves. Visitors are encouraged to explore The Weave, engaging with the structures and each other. Upper Fort Garry was once a gathering space and the birthplace of Winnipeg’s urban fabric. The Weave is a response to the cultural and historical significance of the Upper Fort Garry site, bringing people together to explore the woven fabric of the installation and Winnipeg’s historical past.
