SfMB's MONTHLY PLAYLIST
February 28, 2022
February is Black History Month. This month and every month, we celebrate and honour Black communities, including people, experiences, histories, and achievements. We’ve compiled a varied sample, including a look at the origin story of Black History Month, recent conversations and panel discussions with Canadian Black designers and urbanists, as well as moving documentaries on the lives of legendary black creatives like Paul Williams and Maya Angelou.

SfMB's JANUARY 2022 PLAYLIST
November 30, 2021
In this liminal time of endless winter and covid, we turn our attention to the void. Besides, Bruno Zevi tells us the void is the very essence of architecture, not the "sum of the width, length, and height". Negative space in painting, pauses in a piece of music - absence is rich with potential.
SfMB 2021 YEAR IN REVIEW
December 31, 2021
In a world that continues to change at an unprecedented pace, Storefront's role has never been more critical. Progressive design will change our communities for the better, with spaces that are sustainable, safe, equitable, bold, and inspiring. With this formidable responsibility in mind, 2021 has been a busy year at Storefront MB.
Now that our province is coated in a fluffy blanket of snow, it's time to slow down, warm up, and sleep. The November playlist focuses on HIBERNATION.
