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!

SUMMARY:What Do You Carry When Home Changes? Workshop with Jona Redwood
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $0-$25\, please register\n\nThis hands-on workshop invites participants to explore their personal understanding of home through reflection and making. Guided by prompts and material exploration\, participants will create a small\, intentional object using fiber\, thread\, and mixed materials inspired by dreamcatcher techniques. Rather than focusing on traditional forms\, the workshop emphasizes personal meaning—what we hold onto\, what we release\, and how our sense of home evolves over time.\n\nParticipants are invited to bring in their own artifact or trinket to represent what home means to them or what they would want to contribute to the idea.  We will also have lots of supplies on-hand as well.  Participants will have the option to contribute their piece to a collaborative installation within the exhibition or take it home.  Taught by artist-in-residence Jona Redwood.\n\nThis is part of the HOME residency in July/August 2026 and gratefully funded by Calgary Arts Development.
