Held over the lunch hour this series invites Calgarians working in the downtown core to enjoy their lunch while listening to talks and presentations by artists whose work blends modes of writing with the visual arts.

In his performative reading Home Turf, Calgary-based writer, curator and artist Tomas Jonsson observes the intertwining relationships between family, land, narrative, and memory. Through one-on-one engagement with archival materials from his family's personal collection, Jonsson reflects on personal relationships to land, and development in Calgary. Jonsson’s presentation will also discuss the relationship between his artistic and writing practices, which intertwine his interest in issues of social agency in processes of urban growth and transformation.
