SUMMARY:“Letters from/to my homes” Workshop with Ezgi Türker
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $0-$25\, please register. \nThis workshop invites participants to address their personal homes by writing letters. A lived home or a home yet to come\, or an imagined home. A past or future self\, a person\, the land and the inhabitants of the land. We’ll write together to write letters where we find refuge and we’ll listen to letters from these ‘homes’.  \nThis workshop is facilitated by resident artist\, Ezgi Türker\, who is working on her project “Letters from/to my homes”. This project began as an intimate exchange between her two selves: one who remains in Istanbul and one who now lives in Calgary/Mohkinstsis. Through this correspondence\, she reflects on memory\, longing\, and the simultaneous act of losing and creating home. Each letter becomes a dialogue between two temporal selves\, reimagining the parallel lives that might have unfolded elsewhere.  \nThis is part of the HOME residency in July/August 2026 at Sparrow Artspace and gratefully funded by Calgary Arts Development.

SUMMARY:Stand Up Comedy in Broken English: Victor Patrascan
DESCRIPTION:Laugh with Europe’s comedy nomad\, Victor Pãtrãşcan – the rebel comedian-philosopher whose sharp jokes have taken him to about 60 countries\, millions of screens\, and even onto a few government watchlists (true story: he’s officially banned by the new Georgian government for being ‘too funny’). \nVictor is coming with his trademark style of comedy – bold insights\, unscripted moments\, and cheeky observations that make you think long after you laugh. He doesn’t provoke just to shock; with curiosity and care\, he dives into politics\, culture\, religion\, identity\, and the topics we argue about online but laugh about in real life. \nYes\, Victor talks to the audience\, but only to the brave who volunteer\, so sit wherever you like (even the front row) because he won’t bother you unless you want him to. \nWhether you’re local\, an expat\, or just existentially lost\, this show is a space to laugh at the absurdity of modern life – together. Come solo or bring a friend; either way\, you’ll leave with something to think about. \nShows sell out fast – get your tickets now!
