Answering a Global Crisis: From Temporary Foreign Worker to Cultural Infrastructure Builder in Alberta

When Archives Are Incomplete, History Becomes Incomplete

International cultural policy bodies, including UNESCO, have warned that gaps in digital preservation systems pose long-term risks to cultural diversity. When archival infrastructure is uneven, entire communities remain under-documented. Over time, these omissions become structural absences within the historical record.

Grieve in Greenery

The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Grieve in Greenery” featuring the work of Alberta artist Gillian Coulton. About her work, Gillian writes: “The tangled connections between memory, place, and personal history are often difficult to describe, my practice attempts to embody the connection between memory and place. I am an artist and white settler, originally from rural Alberta, and my work explores my connections to the places around the rural landscapes where I grew up with a sense of isolation, uneasy nostalgia and personal discovery.

Send in The Clowns Presented by the Instrumental Society of Calgary

What could you expect when music creation was inspired by a clown? Icarus 3 is an improvising trio composed of Jeremy Gignoux (violin/viola), Keith Rodger (double bass), and Robin Tufts (drums, percussion). They created their original repertoire in an unusual and experimental way: with the help of the clown. Under guidance from clown performer and educator Jacqueline Russell, they explored their inner clowns, which gave birth to musical compositions and improvisation games that display a joyful and wild creative energy.
