Let's talk about . . . togetherness

  • Calgary Central Library 800 3 Street Southeast Calgary, AB, T2G 0E7 Canada (map)

We connect with our built environment through stories, most of which are passed down over time.

Join a conversation to explore how stories go missing, or how some perspectives remain below the radar. Community is built upon understanding and empathy. What changes as we bring different stories together?

Tickets: Advance $12, Doors $15, Students $6. Members come free.
