From the Thin Air Program:
“Oodena, the natural amphitheatre at The Forks, has been natural gathering place for centuries.
THIN AIR celebrates that history with a collage of commissioned work from writers who have made their mark on the local scene. Admission is FREE.
As we’ve seen for the past few years, new work by accomplished Manitoba writers demonstrates the power of language to mark and invent our sense of place.

THIN AIR
In September each year, Winnipeg welcomes writers from Canada and around the world for a week of readings, lectures, interviews, conversations, book launches, and other events. That week of literary feasting—which reaches out into the rural areas of the province as well—is THIN AIR, the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. With programming for adults and children, in English and French, THIN AIR is an infusion of energy into the thriving literary culture of this city.
