    Why is the Brain Important

    The brain is the vehicle for all the qualities that define our humanity. It is at the centre of all early development and learning, engagement with education and family life, participation in social interactions, creative work and creating our knowledge of all aspects of the universe. Understanding how the brain creates perception from sensation, memories for percepts and generates action is key to understanding all human phenomena. In his talk, Dr. Sutherland will produce an assemblage of current neuroscience research to highlight key issues relevant to health, education, artificial intelligence, criminal justice, ethics and political behaviour.

    Dr. Rob Sutherland is Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience, Tier 1 Board of Governors Research Chair in Neuroscience, and Director of the Canadian Center for Behavioural Neuroscience. In 2021, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2022 was awarded the Donald O. Hebb Distinguished Contribution Award by the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science. He investigates the neurobiology of learning, memory, and dementia rodents and humans. Sutherland received his degrees from the University of Toronto and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scoita. After he received his PhD, he moved to the University of Lethbridge in 1980 for postdoctoral training in neuropsycholgy. He has held faculty positions at the University of Lethbridge, University of New Mexico, University of Colorado Boulder, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

    Crafternoon: Introduction to zines March 30, 2024

    Looking for a fun and family-friendly activity on a Saturday afternoon? Visit the Gallery for Crafternoon, a self-directed art activity in our Creativity Centre. This month we will be making mini zines! Zines are small non-commercial non-professional publications. Similar to magazines and comics they use images and writing to tell stories and share ideas and messages. Because they can be made independently they’re often used to share unheard stories and voices with communities. Join us for this drop-in program where we will walk you through basic construction and share drawing and design tips so that you can make your own zines about all your interests and passions!This program is free with admission. All supplies are provided.

    Navigating Two Systems with John Chief Calf April 05, 2024

    The Gallery invites you to join us for the second of our multi-session speaker series Navigating Two Systems with John Chief Calf. In this second session, John will share some of the conflicts he has faced when navigating the two cultures and how these challenges come to a head when the cultures collide and clash. He will consider traditional and individual ways of interpreting conflict, and how their methods of mediation have developed and can be utilized. This session will consider not only how conflict arises and is dealt with, but also the resilience created by facing conflicts, and how such moments impact and inspire continued development. This event is free to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.

    John Chief Calf was born and raised on the Blood Reserve and was a Child and Youth Care worker from 1985-1997. He received his BA/BEd from the University of Lethbridge in 2005. Chief Calf has taught for the Calgary Board of Education, Siksika Board of Education, Red Crow Community College as well as the Lethbridge Catholic Division, and is currently with the Lethbridge School Division as a humanities teacher. He is a self-taught artist and has sold artworks locally, corporately, and internationally.Did you know the Southern Alberta Art Gallery offers free admission on the first Friday of every month?
