SUMMARY:The $#!T
DESCRIPTION:In the far distant past of 2010\, a Christian boy from Northern Ontario fell in love with a handsome mischievous boy from Virginia. Fifteen years later they’re sharing a hostel in DC when nature calls and while entrapped on the toilet\, he reflects upon the history that lead them from lovers\, to enemies to friends… and maybe back again? But in such a small space\, will one bodily function be enough to shatter whatever romance they have left? \nA story of love\, loss\, lust and lower intestines- the $#!T bares all and shows that sometimes the ones who stick around can be the ones you least expect. \nPlaywright: Matti McLean \nDirector: Damon Bradley Jang \nCast: Matti McLean \nContent Advisory: \nNudity\, Sexual Content\, Adult Language\, Drug Use\, Awkward Topics\, Solo Performance

SUMMARY:2026 BUMP Festival
DESCRIPTION:BUMP 2026 HAS LANDED \nOf Simmering\, and the Surge \nWhat began in 2017 as a mural festival has grown into one of Canada’s most ambitious public art organizations\, transforming Calgary into an open-air gallery while expanding into sculpture\, music\, film\, education\, conferences\, and year-round cultural programming. As we celebrate this milestone year\, we remain committed to a simple belief: BUMP is for the people. \nThis year’s theme\, Of Simmering\, and the Surge\, asks us to consider how change takes form\, both slowly and explosively. How do we respond to the forces that shape our world\, at both the intimate and systemic level? What are the ideas\, noise\, gestures\, and resistances that gather in the margins\, in undergrounds\, in small rooms\, in fleeting conversations? And how do these moments accumulate\, building pressure until they break through into the larger public sphere? \nThroughout August and beyond\, you’ll encounter an extraordinary collection of local\, national\, and international artists creating new public works across Calgary. From large-scale murals to the inaugural BUMP Public Sculpture Program\, this year’s festival asks how public art can become more than something we simply look at. How can it become a portal into new ways of thinking\, gathering\, and imagining our shared future? \nFor the first time in BUMP’s history\, we’ve invited guest curators to help shape the artistic direction of the festival. We are honoured to welcome Ken Lum\, one of Canada’s most influential voices in contemporary public art\, Marigold Santos\, whose multidisciplinary practice has profoundly shaped artistic conversations in Calgary and beyond\, and Said Dokins\, an internationally celebrated artist from Mexico City whose work examines language\, memory\, and public space. They have assembled a remarkable group of artists whose practices reflect the diversity\, complexity\, and ambition of contemporary public art today. \nThis year also marks the third BUMP Urban Art Conference\, taking place August 13-15 at Contemporary Calgary. Over three days\, artists\, writers\, musicians\, journalists\, architects\, curators\, and cultural leaders from around the world will come together to explore the ideas shaping public life today. Through keynote talks\, panel discussions\, and conversations\, the conference extends the questions raised on our walls into broader discussions about cities\, culture\, identity\, ecology\, technology\, and the future of public space. \nWhether you’re discovering BUMP for the first time or have been with us since the beginning\, we invite you to experience the city differently this August. \nWe’ll be announcing details for our 2026 Festival Finale in the coming weeks\, along with additional public programming and events taking place throughout the festival. \nThank you for being part of BUMP’s first ten years. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

SUMMARY:Stand Up Comedy in Broken English: Victor Patrascan
DESCRIPTION:Laugh with Europe’s comedy nomad\, Victor Pãtrãşcan – the rebel comedian-philosopher whose sharp jokes have taken him to about 60 countries\, millions of screens\, and even onto a few government watchlists (true story: he’s officially banned by the new Georgian government for being ‘too funny’). \nVictor is coming with his trademark style of comedy – bold insights\, unscripted moments\, and cheeky observations that make you think long after you laugh. He doesn’t provoke just to shock; with curiosity and care\, he dives into politics\, culture\, religion\, identity\, and the topics we argue about online but laugh about in real life. \nYes\, Victor talks to the audience\, but only to the brave who volunteer\, so sit wherever you like (even the front row) because he won’t bother you unless you want him to. \nWhether you’re local\, an expat\, or just existentially lost\, this show is a space to laugh at the absurdity of modern life – together. Come solo or bring a friend; either way\, you’ll leave with something to think about. \nShows sell out fast – get your tickets now!

SUMMARY:2026 BUMP Festival
DESCRIPTION:BUMP 2026 HAS LANDED \nOf Simmering\, and the Surge \nWhat began in 2017 as a mural festival has grown into one of Canada’s most ambitious public art organizations\, transforming Calgary into an open-air gallery while expanding into sculpture\, music\, film\, education\, conferences\, and year-round cultural programming. As we celebrate this milestone year\, we remain committed to a simple belief: BUMP is for the people. \nThis year’s theme\, Of Simmering\, and the Surge\, asks us to consider how change takes form\, both slowly and explosively. How do we respond to the forces that shape our world\, at both the intimate and systemic level? What are the ideas\, noise\, gestures\, and resistances that gather in the margins\, in undergrounds\, in small rooms\, in fleeting conversations? And how do these moments accumulate\, building pressure until they break through into the larger public sphere? \nThroughout August and beyond\, you’ll encounter an extraordinary collection of local\, national\, and international artists creating new public works across Calgary. From large-scale murals to the inaugural BUMP Public Sculpture Program\, this year’s festival asks how public art can become more than something we simply look at. How can it become a portal into new ways of thinking\, gathering\, and imagining our shared future? \nFor the first time in BUMP’s history\, we’ve invited guest curators to help shape the artistic direction of the festival. We are honoured to welcome Ken Lum\, one of Canada’s most influential voices in contemporary public art\, Marigold Santos\, whose multidisciplinary practice has profoundly shaped artistic conversations in Calgary and beyond\, and Said Dokins\, an internationally celebrated artist from Mexico City whose work examines language\, memory\, and public space. They have assembled a remarkable group of artists whose practices reflect the diversity\, complexity\, and ambition of contemporary public art today. \nThis year also marks the third BUMP Urban Art Conference\, taking place August 13-15 at Contemporary Calgary. Over three days\, artists\, writers\, musicians\, journalists\, architects\, curators\, and cultural leaders from around the world will come together to explore the ideas shaping public life today. Through keynote talks\, panel discussions\, and conversations\, the conference extends the questions raised on our walls into broader discussions about cities\, culture\, identity\, ecology\, technology\, and the future of public space. \nWhether you’re discovering BUMP for the first time or have been with us since the beginning\, we invite you to experience the city differently this August. \nWe’ll be announcing details for our 2026 Festival Finale in the coming weeks\, along with additional public programming and events taking place throughout the festival. \nThank you for being part of BUMP’s first ten years. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

SUMMARY:Stand Up Comedy in Broken English: Victor Patrascan
DESCRIPTION:Laugh with Europe’s comedy nomad\, Victor Pãtrãşcan – the rebel comedian-philosopher whose sharp jokes have taken him to about 60 countries\, millions of screens\, and even onto a few government watchlists (true story: he’s officially banned by the new Georgian government for being ‘too funny’). \nVictor is coming with his trademark style of comedy – bold insights\, unscripted moments\, and cheeky observations that make you think long after you laugh. He doesn’t provoke just to shock; with curiosity and care\, he dives into politics\, culture\, religion\, identity\, and the topics we argue about online but laugh about in real life. \nYes\, Victor talks to the audience\, but only to the brave who volunteer\, so sit wherever you like (even the front row) because he won’t bother you unless you want him to. \nWhether you’re local\, an expat\, or just existentially lost\, this show is a space to laugh at the absurdity of modern life – together. Come solo or bring a friend; either way\, you’ll leave with something to think about. \nShows sell out fast – get your tickets now!

SUMMARY:The $#!T
DESCRIPTION:In the far distant past of 2010\, a Christian boy from Northern Ontario fell in love with a handsome mischievous boy from Virginia. Fifteen years later they’re sharing a hostel in DC when nature calls and while entrapped on the toilet\, he reflects upon the history that lead them from lovers\, to enemies to friends… and maybe back again? But in such a small space\, will one bodily function be enough to shatter whatever romance they have left? \nA story of love\, loss\, lust and lower intestines- the $#!T bares all and shows that sometimes the ones who stick around can be the ones you least expect. \nPlaywright: Matti McLean \nDirector: Damon Bradley Jang \nCast: Matti McLean \nContent Advisory: \nNudity\, Sexual Content\, Adult Language\, Drug Use\, Awkward Topics\, Solo Performance
