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:The Masses and the Classes in Calgary: Labour\, Lougheed\, and Electoral Politics in Calgary
DESCRIPTION:Coinciding with Senator Lougheed’s time in the federal cabinet were some of the largest strikes in Canadian history\, including major ones in Calgary. These signs of class division had political ramifications as both labour and conservative forces mobilized to control political representation in the city at all levels of government. This talk will explore the class dimension of electoral politics in Calgary\, beginning with the federal election of 1911 — when Calgary bucked the trend of the west and voted against candidates supporting reciprocity — through to Alberta’s first recall election in 1926 over the issue of the public provision of textbooks in Calgary schools.

SUMMARY:This is Blackfoot Territory: Boundaries\, Belonging\, & Jurisdiction
DESCRIPTION:At this installment of Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History\, Ryan Crosschild invites us to explore the Blackfoot understandings of territory\, boundaries\, and belonging as questions about the province’s future intensify. Rather than beginning with Alberta or with the narratives about separation dominating public debate\, this talk speaks from and for Blackfoot territory.Dive into deeper conversations about Treaty 7\, settler relationships to Blackfoot territory\, and contemporary questions about overlapping Indigenous claims to place\, to help understand what is at stake when talking about borders and separation.What changes when Indigenous histories\, relationships\, and ways of knowing and being are centred in a conversation about our past\, present\, and future?Come for the hot dogs\, stay for a conversation that asks whether we’re even asking the right questions about where Alberta begins\, where it ends\, and who gets to decide.
