In Conversation: How do you want to be remembered?

In Conversation: How do you want to be remembered?

Thursday, August 27 

5:30-7:30 pm

Death and dying can be difficult to talk about, but the ways we commemorate those we have lost are among the most personal and meaningful expressions of our humanity. Across cultures and time, funerary practices help people celebrate those that have passed on and strengthen our connections with each other.

Animals have stories to tell – tales of perseverance, survival, and vital connection to the earth. 

Join us on August 13 and 15 for a screening of Animal Nation – Caribou. In the Northwest Territories, Tłı̨chǫ researchers brave the barren lands to study caribou, using traditional knowledge to seek solutions to their decline. In Quebec, Innu mentors teach youth about their sacred bond with the boreal caribou, a species in crisis.

Have you ever wished you could use the Royal Alberta Museum’s collections for sketching inspiration? Now’s your chance! 

This month they are shaking things up – this is no still life! History will come alive with costumed staff from the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village who will pose with historical objects from the museum’s collection. Bring lots of paper – they'll be doing lots of different poses!

Ada | Solo Exhibition

As a Nigerian-born, Canadian-raised, only daughter of 4, this exhibition works to capture Chidera Uzoka’s journey of rediscovering her Nigerian roots. Many of the pieces are not only a celebration of the culture that she is slowly uncovering, but it is a juxtaposition of her experiences here versus her cultural heritage back home.

The exhibition will create a welcoming space for all attendees to enjoy and engage with the community. It will feature performances from other artists, interactive activities, as well as Nigerian cuisine!

containR: Mural Launch Party

Enjoy an evening of live music from DJs sleepy&small, DJ Sikwiddit, FRVNZ, and HAIZAY, along with food, drinks, and local vendors; Alcove Centre for the Arts and Like New Vintage. 

We hope you'll join us for an afternoon of art, music, and celebration.
