Five Questions with Joe Kalturnyk

What motivates you?

A passion for ideas and helping ideas see the light of day.

What do you do for a living, and why?

I’m the Director of RAW:Gallery, a contemporary artist run centre as well as a design consultant. Both jobs are related to “making”, making ideas and dreams real.

Which TED talk do you think everyone should watch?

Why are you excited to speak at TEDxManitoba?

TEDx explores contemporary ideas and people making them happen. The program is a constant source of inspiration.

What is your idea worth spreading?

The idea I would like to spread is that, with enough stamina, one can make the most simple ideas on the most complicated terrain come to life. Also by embracing what is inherently “you”, truly unique projects emerge.

What’s your connection to Manitoba?

Born, raised and rooted.
