How to spot fake news and who benefits when you don’t?

Cultural Instigators

Date: August 2, 2025, 2pm MT

If art is inspired by the truth, how do you spot fake news and who benefits when you don’t?

In a media landscape of competing media conglomerates shaping biases & narratives, media platforms fraught with citizen-generated content, how do we spot fake news and check what is true?

Join Saffana Monajed (IG @SaffanaBanana) with jaqs gallos aquines to unlearn passive media consumption and sharpen our skills in spotting objective truth vs. funded bias.

This live-streamed event is organized by The Unlearning Channel, Cultural Instigators, in partnership with the Canadian Cultural Mosaic Foundation, funded by Calgary Arts Development Authority.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
