Calgary Goes To The Movies Map

Artist: Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby
Research: Tamara P. & Robert M. Seiler, Andrew Watts, Charles Tepperman
Editing: Jim Ellis & Charles Tepperman
Graphic Designer: Glenn Mielke

Calgary’s movie screens are sites of fantasy and struggle. This map traces the history of venues for motion picture exhibition in Calgary, and the way films mediate an encounter between the local and more far-flung influences from the USA, Britain, and further afield. Movie-going was the quintessential modern entertainment, projecting Hollywood glamour to a rapidly growing city in the Alberta foothills in the early 20th century.

The history of Calgary screens is both a cultural and business struggle, as Calgary entrepreneurs sought ways of making movies speak to local audiences and fought for control with encroaching theatre chains. But when commercial cinemas were controlled by distant corporate offices, new venues and organizations have sprung up to support local filmmakers and audiences in diverse and distinctive ways.

 

About the Calgary Atlas Project

The Calgary Atlas Project seeks to recover crucial stories about Calgary’s past and present, stories that illuminate in surprising ways the character and diversity of the city.  Forgotten or overlooked stories from Calgary’s history are mapped onto the city’s geography, highlighting significant sites, events, and people in Calgary’s past. Ultimately the project will produce eighteen to twenty maps, spanning the earliest moments of habitation and settlement to the latest re-developments in the East Village.

The first two maps produced showcased Calgary’s LGBTQ2S+ history and First Nations participation with the Calgary Stampede. Newly completed maps explore the history of alternative art movements, labour activism and Calgary’s lost cinemas. Upcoming maps will illustrate immigration waves (as reflected in ethnic groceries and restaurants), Calgary’s architectural heritage, our connections with animals and the notable faces and places of Stampede Wrestling.

Each map has text written by local historians and images specially commissioned from Calgary artists, in most cases artists who have a relation to the history they are interpreting. The Atlas aims to bring a new vision of Calgary to Calgary; to show us how we got to where we are, and who we came to be.

The Calgary Atlas Project is an initiative of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities at the University of Calgary, and is generously supported by the Calgary Foundation. Individual maps are available from Calgary’s fine independent bookstores including Shelf Life Books, The Next Page, Pages Kensington, Owl’s Nest Books, as well as Map Town and Lougheed House. The project is steered by a group of five professors at the University of Calgary: George Colpitts (History), Jim Ellis (English; CIH), Nancy Janovicek (History), Graham Livesey (School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape), and Charles Tepperman (Communications, Media and Film).

In Summer 2020, the Atlas Project was the recipient of a Calgary Foundation Grant. We are enormously grateful for this grant as it has allowed us to hire a project manager to oversee the production of the forthcoming maps and to work on effective distribution schemes for the maps, making sure that they are read by the communities that would benefit from them the most.

 

Calgary’s Architecture Map

Text and photography: Graham Livesey
Map design: SPECTACLE Bureau for Architecture and Urbanism (Philip Vandermey, Jessie Andjelic, Veronique Ulrich, Vanessa Wang)
Editor: Jim Ellis
Graphic design: Glenn Mielke

This map shows important examples of Calgary’s architecture with its evolving styles and architectural characters. Prior to the settlement of Calgary and surroundings there were, and still are, the longstanding traditional architectures of the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. Early examples of settler architecture tended to be interpretations of colonial models, which is evident in most buildings before World War II. With the advent  of modernism after the War an increasingly sophisticated local architectural community came to the fore, resulting in the regionally responsive approaches of the 1960s. The economic boom of the 1970s created a dramatic expansion of the city both outwards and upwards, which also brought to the city large architectural firms from Toronto and the United States. Postmodernism came to the city in the late 1970s, followed by a reinvigorated modernism. Recent years have seen various “starchitects” contribute to the city’s fabric, adding to the rich diversity of Calgary’s architectural history.

Calgary’s Art Underground Guide

Artist: Drunken Paw ( Mark Dicey, Leslie Sweder, Janet Turner)
Writer: Diana Sherlock
Photographer: Dave Brown
Editor: Jim Ellis
Graphic Designer: Glenn Mielke

For thousands of years before colonization, the nations who signed Treaty 7 including the Blackfoot Confederacy (the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations), as well as members of the Métis Nation of Alberta, integrated visual and material culture into their daily lives to share stories about this land, Moh’kinstsis, the place now known as Calgary.

Comparatively, Calgary’s contemporary visual art history is only a blip in time, and it remains enriched by Indigenous voices. It began with and continues because of a robust group of dedicated do-it-yourself artists, arts administrators, and arts supporters who believe art has the power to share and respond to people’s most deeply held beliefs and values. This map represents an incomplete survey of many of the visual and media art initiatives that have shaped and, in some cases, continue to shape Calgary’s vibrant and expansive art scene.

Care and Wear: Bodies Crafted for Harm and Healing

Curated by Brendan and Jude Griebel from the collection of the Museum of Fear and Wonder, the exhibition Care and Wear: Bodies Crafted for Harm and Healing delves into the materiality of bodily experience. The exhibition brings together a collection of crafted surrogates for the human body that are variously designed to model or mimic physical and emotional aspects of the human experience.

The accompanying exhibition catalogue features colour images of key pieces from The Museum of Fear and Wonder Collection, as well as texts by Brendan and Jude Griebel, Lianne McTavish, and an interview with Brendan and Jude Griebel, Naomi Potter, and Shauna Thompson.

Located outside of Bergen, Alberta, the Museum of Fear and Wonder is a collaborative project by Brendan and Jude Griebel. It houses and illuminates their collection of historical craftworks that possess uneasy emotional or psychological resonance.

Erika DeFreitas: what is left resembles light and is restless – as we are seen.

This limited-edition artist book is produced on the occasion of the exhibition

Erika DeFreitas: and that break is the one that shows (to shift, a curve, to quiver), curated by Elizabeth Diggon, presented at Esker Foundation from 25 January to 27 April, 2025.

what is left is restless and resembles light – as we are seen, is a series of nine works that intuitively coalesce multiple veins of DeFreitas’ research. To begin this work, DeFreitas transcribed a chapter from a book of automatic writings called “Cautions”—a text of great personal resonance. Each page is then illuminated with images, fragments, and notes that speak to spirit photography and the occult, diagnoses of “hysteria” in 19th century women, and depictions of death and loss in medieval illuminated manuscripts.

These works are brought together in a stunning limited-edition artist book that reflects DeFreitas’ artistic process alongside texts from the artist and curator Elizabeth Diggon.

Designed as an accordion-style booklet, each page presents a single artwork that can remain intact, unfold into a continuous piece, or be separated into individual sections—transforming into stand-alone artworks or “postcards” to share with loved ones.

First Nations Stampede Guide

Researcher: Erin Hryniuk
Artist: Adrian Stimson
Editor: Jim Ellis
Graphic Designer: Glenn Mielke
Photographer: Dave Brown

Calgary is the Stampede City. Since 1918, the annual celebration has brought together cowboys, fairgoers and First Nations to mark the high point of the summer.

The map describes in detail the First Nations participation in the Stampede and the ways that participation changed the nature of the event. It highlights stories from the Calgary Stampede that are not often heard—stories that focus on the sometimes-controversial histories of the Stampede that are an important part of its legacy.

The artist, Adrian Stimson, a member of the Siksika Nation, has mapped the events using Indigenous ways of knowing, using pictographs in spiral and linear arrangements painted on a buffalo robe. The map serves as much to inform and remember as it does to decolonize and reclaim.

Gay & Lesbian Calgary: A Queer Map

Researcher: Kevin Allen
Artist: Mark Clintberg
Design collaborator: Jeff Kulak
Graphic design: Glenn Mielke

The pilot map, A Queer Map: Gay and Lesbian Calgary, documents Calgary’s rich LGBTQ2S+ history, drawing on the historical research of the Calgary Gay History Project with research by Kevin Allen and artwork by Mark Clintberg. Its exploration of the places and faces of Calgary’s LGBTQ+ history beautifully documents the scenes and bars where these communities thrived as well as the people and organisations whose activism and initiatives raised much needed awareness and support. The map reveals the strong sense of resistance, collaboration and pride of these communities in the face of an often inhospitable city over the years.

A Queer Map is a retelling of an old story. Lovingly curated, the history of Calgary’s LGBTQ+ community is relayed on the footprint of our city. From Club Carousel through to modern ephemera, this tour through history covers a broad swath of Calgary’s under-documented LGBTQ+ community hubs and sources of resistance in a sometimes-inhospitable Sandstone city. Drawing on the historical research of the Calgary Gay History Project of Kevin Allen and Mark Clintberg, this map explores the places and faces of Calgary’s LGBTQ+ history, its scenes, bars, community, and organisations, and the efforts made by LGBTQ+ activists to raise awareness through initiatives like Blue Jeans Day. The histories told are uniquely Calgarian, but also paradigmatic of many similar cities across western Canada. The strong sense of community, resistance, collaboration and pride which emerges from this trip down memory lane, continues to characterize Calgary’s LGBTQ+ community to this day.

Jana Sterbak: From Here To There

Click Here to Purchase: – $40.00

Sterbak’s video installation, From Here to There is comprised of a micro-camera, wireless image/sound transmission, multiple screens and a terrier named Stanley. A dog’s eye view of the City of the Doges is ample evidence of the artist’s sardonic wit, but as always with Sterbak, the real purpose lies elsewhere. Two essays consider Sterbak’s current work within the context of her entire oeuvre. Accompanied by a text on the Biennial’s Canadian pavilion (known as the tipi), a text by Flying Hawk on life in a tipi and a recipe for Porcupine stew.

 

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Museum of Modern Art, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Louisiana Museum of Contemporary Art and the National Gallery of Canada have all mounted solo exhibitions of her work

“Purple is the front image of a mask used in one of our performance videos. We have been working with masks since 2016, as they seemed appropriate props to convey the autofictional narratives that seeped our works. Unlike classical ‘Green’ theatre masks, our masks don’t illustrate a particular state of mind or convey any concepts; they rather help in establishing that the story we are telling is detached from the identity of the performer. It’s organic and unfinished look is meant to underline this transitional function. However, it’s pink because it looks cool against pretty much any other solid colour.” – Chloe & Yannick.

Workers Stand Up Calgary Labour History Map

Words: Kirk Niergarth
Images & Words: Karen Mills
Editor: Jim Ellis

Available as a folded map, and as a rolled poster.

Calgary’s labour history is extensive, diverse, and very much alive. In spite of its current branding as a city of rugged individualists, Calgary was built, literally and metaphorically, by workers who organized to promote the common good and community well-being.

Along its central streets and at its peripheries, Calgary has a rich history of solidarity and struggle among working people. This map invites you to trace Calgary’s labour history in person. Some of the sites described still stand, while others must be imagined as they were – an exercise in seeing the familiar anew.

The legacy of this history is not in statues or monuments, but in values Calgarians have been committed to for generations. When you demand public access to quality education, to health care, to housing, to fair treatment by employers, and to an equitable distribution of wealth among those whose labour ultimately produces it, you are continuing Calgary traditions as old as the city itself and vital to its development and success.
