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: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 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.
