SUMMARY:Jane Jin Kaisen: Burial of This Order
DESCRIPTION:Burial of This Order brings together three works by Jane Jin Kaisen that underscore her ongoing interest in ritual\, collectivity\, capitalist critique\, and the possibilities of social and political transgressions. \nThe exhibition centres on Kaisen’s titular video installation (2022)\, through which the audience is invited to follow a funerary procession gathered to ceremoniously bury a world order built upon hierarchy and division. The social actors called on to perform this duty\, including artists\, poets and activists\, transgress traditional ceremonial practices indicating that this ritualized enactment is a funeral without grievers\, assembled to dismantle unlivable structures\, rather than lament current conditions. \nThe exhibition’s central work is accompanied by Sorrow Waters This Land (2024) and Dokkaebi (2024). The former focuses on the setting for the procession – a derelict resort on Jeju Island that was abandoned following the IMF financial crisis of the 1990s\, now persisting as a crumbling ruin of capitalism. The latter features powerful Dokkaebi deities from Korean folklore\, unpredictable tricksters who dance suggestively through the space\, haunting or perhaps compelling the procession.

SUMMARY:Samantha Walrod: Off The Beaten Path
DESCRIPTION:Newzones is thrilled to present Off the Beaten Path\, an upcoming solo exhibition of new work by Albertan contemporary artist Samantha Walrod. \nOff the Beaten Path considers how humans view and interact with wildlife in the Canadian wilderness from a “close” distance. Motorists and hikers observe animals from cars and trails while the animals watch in return. Bears\, elk\, and wolves are depicted on the edge of the wilderness\, adjacent to roads and thoroughfares\, visible to humans before disappearing onto paths less accessible to human transportation. Walrod’s artwork represents a fleeting moment of human/animal interaction while observing the essential but shrinking distance between human/animal habitats. \nSamantha Walrod’s work is influenced by similarities and differences between imagined and reconstructed environments. She uses many layers of paint\, collage\, photography and inks\, as tactility is a very important element of her practice. Images are incorporated with collage and digital technologies\, while maintaining the exploration of paint. In reconstructing disparate images from various sources including art history\, popular culture and her own photos\, Walrod addresses the cultural construction of nature.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: We Are Busy Being Alive
DESCRIPTION:A reading by Rishi Midha to celebrate the release of his new book\, We Are Busy Being Alive\, joined by Kirti Bhadresa. \nAbout the book \n \nSet in a North American milieu of detachment and alienation\, the stories in We Are Busy Being Alive document the attempts of disillusioned characters to re-enchant themselves with a seemingly indifferent world. Their flailing quests after a sense of purpose are equal parts tragic\, absurd\, frivolous\, and touchingly human. \nA drug-fuelled romance with a stolen painting; a sexual awakening at the dentist’s; a crisis of personality from the months-long haze of a forest fire. Small spectacles dangle outside the confines of the everyday\, keeping the restless characters reaching. \nThe stories are a nudge out the door and into the lonesome night\, with a wink and a shrug as if to say—what else to do? Through each quiet inflection of hope\, mischief\, and despair\, We Are Busy Being Alive reacquaints readers with the magical qualities of their miserable\, monumental lives. \nAbout the Authors \n \nRishi Midha’s short fiction has appeared in Best Canadian Stories 2026\, subTerrain\, and The New Quarterly. He has won or been a finalist for the LUSH Triumphant Fiction Contest and the the Peter Hinchcliffe Short Fiction Award. We Are Busy Being Alive is his debut story collection. \nKirti Bhadresa lives in Calgary\, Alberta on Treaty 7 territory. Kirti has published fiction and non-fiction writing in literary journals including The Fiddlehead\, Prairie Fire and Room Magazine. Her first book\, a short story collection entitled An Astonishment of Stars was published in October 2024 by ECW Press. An Astonishment of Stars was on the CBC Most Anticipated list and went on to become an indie bestseller. It was a 2025 Writers’ Guild of Alberta Fiction Finalist\, was longlisted for the 2025 Giller Prize\, was a Shelf Life Books Staff Pick\, and won the Alberta Short Story Collection prize in 2026.

SUMMARY:How to Use AI Like an Artist — A Method from Inside the Studio
DESCRIPTION:Join AI Collaborative Artist in Residence and a panel of local artists and experts to discuss art\, and how AI can or cannot be a part of it. \nWhat is left for artists to do when a machine can make a picture? Paul Freeman spent the summer asking that question — not in theory\, in the studio. Hear the method that came out of it: what these tools do and cannot do inside creative work\, and what that means for makers today. Panel conversation and a short walk to see the final work to follow.

SUMMARY:Jane Jin Kaisen: Burial of This Order
DESCRIPTION:Burial of This Order brings together three works by Jane Jin Kaisen that underscore her ongoing interest in ritual\, collectivity\, capitalist critique\, and the possibilities of social and political transgressions. \nThe exhibition centres on Kaisen’s titular video installation (2022)\, through which the audience is invited to follow a funerary procession gathered to ceremoniously bury a world order built upon hierarchy and division. The social actors called on to perform this duty\, including artists\, poets and activists\, transgress traditional ceremonial practices indicating that this ritualized enactment is a funeral without grievers\, assembled to dismantle unlivable structures\, rather than lament current conditions. \nThe exhibition’s central work is accompanied by Sorrow Waters This Land (2024) and Dokkaebi (2024). The former focuses on the setting for the procession – a derelict resort on Jeju Island that was abandoned following the IMF financial crisis of the 1990s\, now persisting as a crumbling ruin of capitalism. The latter features powerful Dokkaebi deities from Korean folklore\, unpredictable tricksters who dance suggestively through the space\, haunting or perhaps compelling the procession.

SUMMARY:Samantha Walrod: Off The Beaten Path
DESCRIPTION:Newzones is thrilled to present Off the Beaten Path\, an upcoming solo exhibition of new work by Albertan contemporary artist Samantha Walrod. \nOff the Beaten Path considers how humans view and interact with wildlife in the Canadian wilderness from a “close” distance. Motorists and hikers observe animals from cars and trails while the animals watch in return. Bears\, elk\, and wolves are depicted on the edge of the wilderness\, adjacent to roads and thoroughfares\, visible to humans before disappearing onto paths less accessible to human transportation. Walrod’s artwork represents a fleeting moment of human/animal interaction while observing the essential but shrinking distance between human/animal habitats. \nSamantha Walrod’s work is influenced by similarities and differences between imagined and reconstructed environments. She uses many layers of paint\, collage\, photography and inks\, as tactility is a very important element of her practice. Images are incorporated with collage and digital technologies\, while maintaining the exploration of paint. In reconstructing disparate images from various sources including art history\, popular culture and her own photos\, Walrod addresses the cultural construction of nature.

SUMMARY:Calgary Institute for the Humanities 8th Annual LGBTQ2S+ Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Calgary Public Library\, UCalgary Alumni\, and the Calgary Foundation\, and as part of Calgary Pride Week\, the Calgary Institute for the Humanities will host Dr. Howard Chiang\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, who will be giving a talk titled “Decolonizing Transgender History: The View from the Asia Pacific.” \nDr. Chiang’s work asks: Does Asia have a trans history? What does it mean to scrutinize the politics of transness in Chinese-speaking societies? This lecture challenges both the assumption that gender nonconforming figures did not exist historically and the idea that the Western category of transgender delivers the best framework for understanding their experience. To remedy some of the most salient flaws of historical inquiry\, this talk analyzes key exemplars from the Sinophone Pacific in decolonial terms. \nDr. Howard Chiang holds the Lai Ho & Wu Cho-liu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where he is also Professor of East Asian Languages & Cultural Studies (by appointment)\, Professor of History and Feminist Studies (by courtesy)\, and Director of the Center for Taiwan Studies. He is the author of two award-winning monographs: After Eunuchs: Science\, Medicine\, and the Transformation of Sex in Modern China (Columbia University Press\, 2018) and Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific (Columbia University Press\, 2021). He is a laureate of the 2026 Dan David Prize in History.
