SUMMARY:A Conversation with Sook-Yin Lee: A Life in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Lee explores how artists navigate institutions and why the fringe remains one of culture’s most vital places for new ideas to emerge. \nAdventurous artists rarely remain within a single discipline. Driven by curiosity rather than convention\, they move fluidly between mediums\, building a creative language that draws from each new form. Over a career spanning film\, music\, broadcasting\, performance\, and writing\, Sook-Yin Lee has embodied this spirit of exploration\, embracing experimentation\, collaboration\, and the unexpected. \nIn this intimate conversation\, moderated by Marigold Santos\, Lee reflects on a career shaped by creative risk-taking and cultural production across multiple worlds. They will explore how artists forge their own paths\, sustain an independent practice over decades\, and why the fringe continues to be one of culture’s most fertile grounds for new ideas. \nSook-Yin Lee is a Canadian filmmaker\, musician\, actor\, multimedia artist\, and award-winning radio and television broadcaster whose career spans film\, music\, visual art\, dance\, and performance. She has worked across CBC\, the BBC\, and MuchMusic. \nBUMP Festival returns August 3–17\, 2026\, transforming Calgary through murals\, sculpture\, music\, placemaking\, and artistic dialogue. Running August 13–15\, the BUMP Urban Art Conference is the festival’s ideas hub—a three-day gathering of artists\, thinkers\, musicians\, and cultural leaders exploring the forces shaping public art and the cities we share.

SUMMARY:A Life Across Disciplines: Celebrating Mike Hooves
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on Mike Hooves through conversation\, art\, and community. \nMike Hooves believed that art could be generous\, playful\, and deeply connected to the people around us. Their practice moved fluidly across murals\, illustration\, film\, animation\, installation\, and drag performance\, leaving an immeasurable impact on Calgary’s cultural landscape. This special gathering brings together friends\, collaborators\, and fellow artists from the many communities Mike helped shape to share stories\, reflect on their own practices\, and celebrate the relationships that defined Mike’s life. \nThe conversation will be followed by a retrospective featuring selections from Mike’s films\, artworks\, animations\, and public projects. Free and open to all\, we welcome friends\, collaborators\, neighbours\, and anyone wishing to learn more about an artist whose generosity and imagination will continue to ripple throughout this city for years to come. \nThis is a special gathering taking place during the 2026 BUMP Urban Art Conference. This gathering is free to attend\, please RSVP so we can ensure there is enough space for everyone.
