An archival, curatorial and performance project, Daniel Barrow's Winnipeg Babysitter reveals the hidden history of independently produced television and subversive cable access from Manitoba's capital. Barrow presents a magic-lantern commentary, tracing the history of public access television in Manitoba, and describing the various and outrageous biographies of its performers and producers and in doing so, he provides a window (lit by the glow of an overhead projector) onto the history of a medium revealed as an important platform whose influence continues to resonate in the practices of Winnipeg artists.
