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:Wordfest Presents Anita Rau Badami
DESCRIPTION:After far too long an absence\, the writer and visual artist Anita Rau Badami makes a triumphant return to Calgary with her highly anticipated new novel—fifteen years in the writing!—Asha in Her Garden. Her previous novel\, The Hero’s Walk\, was a Canada-Reads finalist defended by actor Vinay Virmani who\, in this clip\, described Badami’s writing as timeless in its nuanced exploration of family dynamics and intergenerational conflict. We can’t wait to experience Badami’s storytelling gifts first-hand in this conversation\, hosted by Kirti Bhadresa\, which includes an audience Q & A and book signing\, fueled by Owls Nest Books. You can order copies of her new book\, plus her award-winning backlist\, here.

SUMMARY:Wordfest Presents Jordan Tannahill
DESCRIPTION:No one is more excited than Joshua Whitehead that Jordan Tannahill has added Calgary to his North American tour. Okay\, maybe everyone who was lucky enough to see them on the Wordfest stage in 2018—and we’ve been dreaming ever since about pairing them again in a show. A playwright\, novelist\, screenwriter\, director\, and performance artist\, Tannahill is at the height of his creative prowess in his much-anticipated new novel\, The Living Realm. \n“In the idylls of The Living Realm\, every queer artist emerges moss-laden and enriched with thought\, crusted with sand and raw and cruised\, and is asked to birth themselves anew\, armed with a lament made joyful\,” Whitehead says. “Tannahill is an artist we should all bear witness to at least once in our lives.” \nThe conversation includes an audience Q&A and post-show signing fulled by Shelf Life Books\, who will be on site with copies of Tannahill’s new novel and backlist.

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: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.
