Greetings from Blackfoot Territory: A Poetry and Writing Workshop with Henry HeavyShield
Contemporary Calgary
Date: June 14, 2025
Time: 2 – 4pm
Cost: Free with registration
What would a postcard addressed to the land have to say – and what would the land say in response, if it could?
Join us for a poetry workshop that invites folks from all walks of life to engage with Lauren Crazybull’s exhibition Wish you were here, currently on view at Contemporary Calgary. Drawing on Crazybull’s work, the workshop will explore themes of placemaking, memory, and our relationship to the land that we inhabit.
Facilitated by poet Henry HeavyShield, participants will navigate a series of writing prompts and conversations, using the series of postcards that were produced as part of Crazybull’s exhibition as a starting point.
This workshop is open to all participants who wish to engage with Crazybull’s exhibition, regardless of prior writing experience.
This program is organized in conjunction with Lauren Crazybull: Wish you were here, on view at Contemporary Calgary until November 2, 2025.
