By trading the boxing rings of his childhood for the empowering lens of a camera, Calgary-based artist Wilmer Aburto has redefined what it means to find strength in vulnerability. Through a celebration of body, culture, and q***r identity, he explores the magic of being truly seen and the power of collective storytelling in his new interview with The Scene at https://thescenecalgary.com/interview/wilmer-aburto-power-in-vulnerability/

From cherished friendships to the moon landing, students from St. Brigid School brought their imagination to life! Over a series of workshops with Harvey Nichol and Jiwoo Kim, these talented creators transformed stories into intricate animated videos—and even designed their own movie posters! 🎬✨

Grade 4 students from St. Brigid School were hard at work with teaching artists Maya Corona Art and Julie Funk, exploring the question, "What can we do together that we can't do alone?" 👥✨ Together, they painted their own likeness onto interactive, 3D spinning totems. These Changemaker Kaleidoscopes are broken down into Vision (the face), Action (the torso), and Foundation (the legs)—proving that when we mix our strengths, we create something beautiful. 🎨🧩

Art that makes you look twice. 🎨✨ Federico Airaudo has taken over the Lightbox Studio at Werklund Centre!
