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

Best known for her work excavating shipwrecks and conducting scientific analysis on artifacts recovered from some of the world’s most important underwater archaeological sites\, Lisa shares what life was like during the Golden Age of Piracy. \nJoin Werklund Centre as we go on assignment with her to the Mediterranean Sea and explore how pirating shaped ancient cities.

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.
