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:Dark History of East Village Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Step into the shadows of one of Calgary’s older neighbourhoods on this chilling walking tour through the East Village. \nDiscover the untold stories behind the city’s original red light district\, where brothels\, bootleggers\, backroom deals and riots once shaped the streets. As we explore hidden corners\, you’ll hear tales of vice\, scandal and conflict that reveal a darker side of Calgary’s past. This is not the history you learned in school—this history was meant to stay hidden. \nTickets include a hot drink (tea or coffee) at The Confluence to take with you on this 90-minute\, approx. 2-km tour through the East Village. \nContent Warning: This tour discusses topics of murder\, death\, sex work and other similar topics. Attendee discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:Paul Wells Road Show Calgary
DESCRIPTION:A live late-night show for people who closely follow Canada’s news\, politics\, and current affairs\, hosted by Paul Wells\, one of the country’s most respected political commentators. Wells is known for his discerning reporting\, sharp interviews\, and decades of coverage of Canadian politics\, and this stage show mixes insightful conversation\, live music\, and unexpected local voices in a format that feels part town hall\, part variety show\, and part after-hours hangout. \nBuilt around Calgary and the people shaping it\, the show will feature one-on-one interviews with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith\, Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas and economist Trevor Tombe\, along with live musical performances by Calgary alternative folk group The Dust Collectors. \nDrawing on Wells’ reputation for asking thoughtful questions and finding the human stories behind the headlines\, the evening will explore the issues\, ideas\, and personalities influencing Calgary today while leaving plenty of room for humour\, spontaneity\, and surprise. \nAn evening of Calgary-focused late-night conversation: current events\, big personalities\, live music\, and a room full of people who want to laugh\, think\, debate a little\, and leave feeling more connected to the city they live in.
