SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture - Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:This is Not My Culture – Open Studio\ncSPACE Neighbourhood Hub \nArtist Xstine Cook invites you to contemplate the creative potential of plastic as she transforms diverted packaging material into a full body mask creature. \nBy touching\, manipulating\, and re-purposing plastic that was intended for a single use before being thrown to Earth to process over unknown millennia\, This is Not My Culture invites you to view this miraculous material not as waste\, but as an extraordinary resource. The globe’s frantic pace of plastic generation is at the crux of the fraught relationship between humans’ minds and hearts; our addiction to convenience\, vs the interconnectedness of all life. \nThe packaging materials for this residency were generated by Cook’s family’s normal consumption over the course of a year\, and will be prepared on site in the Hub\, where the mask will be imagined\, designed\, created and exhibited. Viewers will observe the repetitive\, meticulous process of creation\, and the slow reveal of the creature. \nOpen Studio\nWhenever the artist is working\, the space will be open. See schedule for confirmed times\, or drop by to see what’s going on. \nNote: Space will be closed: September 14-18 \nEvents and Happenings\nCheck out several community events happening as part of This is Not My Culture\, including Make-Your-Own Mask sessions\, Mapperz Bring Your Own HDMI Vol II projection mapping event\, Work and Watch movie nights\, Cabaret Jam puppet meet up\, a screening of the Bum Family’s film Pollution Solution\, a special National Day of Truth and Reconciliation screening of Gitz Crazyboy’s Peace Pipeline\, and an exhibition of This is Not My Culture creations. \n*Some events request registration via Eventbrite. \n*Photo credit: Sean Dennie

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture - Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:This is Not My Culture – Open Studio\ncSPACE Neighbourhood Hub \nArtist Xstine Cook invites you to contemplate the creative potential of plastic as she transforms diverted packaging material into a full body mask creature. \nBy touching\, manipulating\, and re-purposing plastic that was intended for a single use before being thrown to Earth to process over unknown millennia\, This is Not My Culture invites you to view this miraculous material not as waste\, but as an extraordinary resource. The globe’s frantic pace of plastic generation is at the crux of the fraught relationship between humans’ minds and hearts; our addiction to convenience\, vs the interconnectedness of all life. \nThe packaging materials for this residency were generated by Cook’s family’s normal consumption over the course of a year\, and will be prepared on site in the Hub\, where the mask will be imagined\, designed\, created and exhibited. Viewers will observe the repetitive\, meticulous process of creation\, and the slow reveal of the creature. \nOpen Studio\nWhenever the artist is working\, the space will be open.

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture - The Peace Pipeline Screening and Filmmaker Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us to watch brilliant satirical film Peace Pipeline and stay for a conversation and bannock with director and actor Gitz Crazyboy. \n\n\nIn the Peace Pipeline\, comedian-activists pose as an Indigenous energy company sharing plans to reroute Enbridge’s pipeline through the wealthy white suburbs of Duluth\, MN\, to more fairly share the risks oil pipelines bring—with shocking and hilarious results. 24 minutes. \n\n\nGitz Crazyboy is a Denesuthine and Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot) activist and youth worker who de-colonizes indigenous studies and teaches the history of Canada’s indigenous population. Working on reservations in rural areas and in cities\, he educates on the destructive nature of the development of the Tar Sands. He is an author (“The Secret of the Stars”)\, an actor (credits include the Darren Aronofsky film “Mother!”) and an impresario (he hosted an episode of VICE’s “Rise\,” and played both himself and a comic fictional character in “The Yes Men Are Revolting”). \n\n\nTito Ybarra is an Anishinaabe and Mexican comedian\, pow-wow singer\, actor and activist. He is well known in Indian Country for his stand-up\, and he has appeared in the TV series “United Shades of America\,” the film “Injunuity\,” and he played both himself and a comic fictional character in “The Yes Men Are Revolting.” He has also been featured on Funny or Die\, and has worked with legendary Native sketch comedy troupe the 1491s. \n\n\nFree screening of this video is presented in recognition of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation\, as part of Xstine Cook’s This is Not My Culture artist residency at CSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Xstine is modifying and altering reclaimed commercial plastic packaging material into an artistic creation during the month of September. \n\n\nThe cSPACE Eau Claire Hub Artist in Residency program is supported by cSPACE Projects and The City of Calgary. \n\n\n*Note that capacity is extremely limited.* If you sign up\, please attend\, or cancel your reservation so that others may. \n\n\nPlease consider a donation to Kids Sport Canada: \n\n\nhttps://kidsportcanada.ca/alberta/calgary/donate/ \n\n\n\n  \nLinks of Interest:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/TitoComedy  \n\n\nPipeline Humour\nhttps://www.facebook.com/APTNNews/videos/454485501866723 \n\n\nStar Tribune Oct 28\, 2019\nhttps://www.startribune.com/enbridge-and-its-controversial-line-3-pipeline-targets-of-hoax/563997772/ \n\n\nWebsite\nhttps://theyesmen.org/project/peacepipeline
