SUMMARY:Otipemisiwak Fantasy
DESCRIPTION:In Otipemisiwak Fantasy\, Riel Starr explores Métis culture through an Indigiqueer perspective. Starr unapologetically conceptualizes Métis futurism through traditionally crafted contemporary objects in order to honour their own personal connection to their culture\, the land\, and the survivance of historical Two-Spiritness. \nOpening reception: October 23rd\, 2026\, from 6:30 to 9 pm \nRiel Starr will give an exhibition tour\, starting at 6:30 pm. \nImage: Otipemisiwak Fantasy.

SUMMARY:Jane Jin Kaisen: Burial of This Order
DESCRIPTION:Burial of This Order brings together three works by Jane Jin Kaisen that underscore her ongoing interest in ritual\, collectivity\, capitalist critique\, and the possibilities of social and political transgressions. \nThe exhibition centres on Kaisen’s titular video installation (2022)\, through which the audience is invited to follow a funerary procession gathered to ceremoniously bury a world order built upon hierarchy and division. The social actors called on to perform this duty\, including artists\, poets and activists\, transgress traditional ceremonial practices indicating that this ritualized enactment is a funeral without grievers\, assembled to dismantle unlivable structures\, rather than lament current conditions. \nThe exhibition’s central work is accompanied by Sorrow Waters This Land (2024) and Dokkaebi (2024). The former focuses on the setting for the procession – a derelict resort on Jeju Island that was abandoned following the IMF financial crisis of the 1990s\, now persisting as a crumbling ruin of capitalism. The latter features powerful Dokkaebi deities from Korean folklore\, unpredictable tricksters who dance suggestively through the space\, haunting or perhaps compelling the procession.

SUMMARY:Curtis Talwst Santiago: worlds\, worlds\, worlds
DESCRIPTION:worlds\, worlds\, worlds explores how stories are held and carried across the vestiges of history and memory. Rooted in a form of world-building where inherited imagination meets critical fabulation¹\, the exhibition celebrates polyphonic identities that negotiate different geographies across time\, weaving the material\, the fragmentary\, and the ever-evolving within storytelling. \nCentral to the Contemporary Calgary presentation is a focused survey of Santiago’s dioramas. Begun in 2008 and collectively known as the Infinity Series\, these intimate works move fluidly between personal memories of Caribbean community life: basement dance parties\, the quintessential barbershop\, figures dreaming in the grass\, and broader collective histories such as migration crises and the rise of territorialism in its many forms. These scenes are portrayed as something precious and deliberately sheltered\, worlds that can be held in the palm of a hand\, inviting careful observation of details often overlooked.

SUMMARY:A Pirate's Life with Lisa Briggs
DESCRIPTION:Pirates might be reduced to a Halloween costume for some\, but they are a year-round fascination for archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer Lisa Briggs. Best known for her work excavating shipwrecks and conducting scientific analysis on artifacts recovered from some of the world’s most important underwater archaeological sites\, Lisa shares what life was like during the Golden Age of Piracy. \nJoin Werklund Centre as we go on assignment with her to the Mediterranean Sea and explore how pirating shaped ancient cities. We will also meet some of the first known pirates\, explore the “pirate code\,” and dive deep into a sunken wreck to learn about the infamous renegade\, Blackbeard\, and his flagship\, the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

SUMMARY:Evil Dead The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Five college students visit an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s up to Ash (a housewares employee\, turned demon-killing hero)\, and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. \nA wildly entertaining Canadian adaptation of the cult-classic horror comedy\, Evil Dead The Musical explodes onto the Martha Cohen Theatre stage this Halloween season. Blood\, jokes\, cheesy effects\, and unforgettable musical numbers\, Evil Dead The Musical is pure comedy from start to finish\, and unlike any other live show out there. Expect outrageous laughs\, over-the-top gore\, and a thrilling theatrical experience. \nAudience advisory: Suggested for ages 16+. Strong language\, sexual themes\, comedic violence (including gun violence)\, and gore. The tone of the production is comedic\, however if you experience adverse effects at the sight of blood\, we do not recommend you attend this show.

SUMMARY:MRG Live presents: Death From Above 1979 - Private Lives Tour
DESCRIPTION:Born from the womb of Y2K techno paranoia\, dance-punk mega duo Death From Above 1979 have been a cathartic through-line since 2001. Every now and then they come to fly their jumbo jet sound into the skyscrapers that the zeitgeist has erected. In 2026\, they once again blast off celebrating their 25th anniversary with a fifth LP\, Private Lives\, slated for a fall release. They’ve survived CDs\, MP3s\, pirating\, streaming and AI slop undeterred and have delivered nothing but psycho tenor wails and frenetic juvenile delinquent rhythms.
