SUMMARY:2026 BUMP Urban Art Conference
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, join artists\, curators\, musicians\, writers\, journalists\, architects\, and cultural leaders from around the world for the third annual BUMP Urban Art Conference\, our festival’s Ideas Hub. \nCentered around the theme Of Simmering\, and the Surge\, this year’s program explores how ideas percolate\, persist\, gain traction\, and ultimately transform the world around us. If 2025 asked how cities remember\, 2026 asks how they might break or become. \nAcross three days of keynote talks\, artist presentations\, and panel discussions\, we’ll examine the unseen forces shaping culture beneath the surface\, from journalism and music to public art\, architecture\, and grassroots organizing – and how ideas travel from the margins into the public consciousness. \nFeaturing keynote speaker Faye HeavyShield\, special presentations by Sook-Yin Lee and Marigold Santos\, and conversations spanning public art\, housing and affordability\, artificial intelligence\, cultural movements\, and global creative practice\, the 2026 BUMP Urban Art Conference is where the festival gathers to think\, debate\, and imagine what comes next.

SUMMARY:Perspective Film Series: A Clockwork Orange (1971)
DESCRIPTION:Stanley Kubrick’s iconic A Clockwork Orange (1971) follows Alex\, a charismatic but ultraviolent teenage delinquent in dystopian future Britain\, who leads his “droogs” in drug-fueled crime sprees\, narrating in futuristic slang (Nadsat). After being caught and imprisoned for murder\, he undergoes the controversial Ludovico Technique\, a psychological aversion therapy that conditions him to feel physically ill at the thought of violence\, effectively removing his free will. Released as a “cured” citizen\, he faces societal rejection and political manipulation\, asking us to question the ethics of state control\, the nature of free will\, and whether true morality can exist without the freedom to choose. \nCountry: UK\, US \n136 minutes\, in English \nDisclaimer: This film contains some difficult subject matter\, including violence and nudity\, which may be triggering for some viewers. \nFREE for members. Non-members: $10—your ticket to this screening includes admission to Contemporary Calgary. Our galleries are open from 12-5 PM for viewing prior to attending the program.
