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

SUMMARY:Re-sieving the News: How to Glean the Gold from the Gravel
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of leading international scholars to explore how people engage with news across cultures\, countries\, and media systems. \nHow do we decide which news sources to trust? How do our media habits shape the way we understand the world around us? And how can we navigate an information landscape where reliable journalism\, opinions\, and misinformation often compete for our attention? \nThrough an engaging conversation\, the panelists will share insights into the changing ways people access and use news; how various audiences tackle the latest technological challenges posed by algorithms and AI; what influences their decisions to trust or not to trust; and how news practices shape worldviews and enable civic activism. Together\, we’ll consider our powers and responsibilities as news users and will seek to identify strategies for navigating the news landscape that can support informed citizenship and stronger communities. \nWhether you are curious about current events\, interested in media and technology\, or simply wondering how to make sense of the news you encounter every day\, this is an opportunity to hear international perspectives\, explore new ideas\, and join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Art Book Club | Simone Elizabeth Saunders\, Encompass the Galaxy: From Studio to Publication
DESCRIPTION:Join us for thoughtful conversations about art books – a dynamic format where artists continue to push boundaries\, considering the book not just as an object but as a portal into their creative practices.

This is a book club for curious minds – readers\, artists\, and art lovers who view books as both inspiration and artistic practice. \nWhat to Expect:– Four sessions per year featuring guest speakers from the art and publishing worlds– A welcoming community of art book enthusiasts– A space for artists exploring the book as part of their own work– Opportunities to deepen your connection to contemporary art and/or publishing– Rich conversations with others passionate about art and ideas

SUMMARY:2026 Author in Residence Talk: Serendipity
DESCRIPTION:Join Eugene Stickland for a lighthearted reminiscence: Serendipity can be defined in a positive sense as the things we find when we are looking for something else. Happy accidents. Random events that change the course of lives. Hear how a series of unlikely events shaped his life\, transforming him from an aspiring pianist to an acclaimed author.
