Episode Details

After 33 years at the helm, Meeka Walsh is stepping down as editor of Border Crossings magazine — the publication she transformed from a local Winnipeg staple into a globally revered voice in visual arts. Under her leadership, the magazine thrived where others folded, thickening each year while spotlighting both international giants like Robert Frank and homegrown Canadian talent. Artists and filmmakers credit Walsh for elevating Winnipeg’s cultural profile, giving emerging creators like Dana Schutz and Sarah Anne Johnson a global platform. Known for her fierce advocacy for innovative art and criticism of underfunded arts institutions, Walsh leaves behind a legacy of bold curation, deep community connection, and a magazine that made Canada’s prairie heart a beacon of global creativity.
