Future Perfect: Rewriting the Rules of Lethbridge with Mia & Eric
In conversation with Future Perfect by Mia & Eric and Action Hero

Saturday March 7, 2-4 p.m. 

$10 members | $15 non-members
No prior experience is required. Designed for all ages. All materials are provided.

What if the rules of the city were written differently? What if they reflected care, imagination, and possibility?

Participants are invited to explore how bylaws shape everyday life in Lethbridge. Together, we will use the language of existing municipal bylaws as creative material rather than fixed instructions. Participants will cut, remix, and rewrite these texts to imagine new rules for a future city.

You will create your own version of a bylaw for Lethbridge. It might be practical, poetic, absurd, or strange. It might describe how people move through public space, how we treat each other, or what is allowed to happen in the city. There is no right answer, and no legal knowledge is needed.

The workshop is inspired by Future Perfect: New By-laws for Civic Spaces, a public art project that turns official city language into playful signs and statements across Lethbridge. Like the project, this workshop asks simple but important questions. Who writes the rules of the city? Why are they written the way they are? What happens when we change the words?

This is a space to slow down, notice the city around you, and imagine how it could be different. By rewriting the rules together, participants are invited to see civic space with fresh eyes and to take part in shaping its future.

Everyone is welcome. All you need is curiosity about how words shape the places we share.

Mia Rushton and Eric Moschopedis are an interdisciplinary artist team from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Since 2008 they have been creating interdisciplinary exhibitions, temporary public art, participatory works, and interventions under the moniker, Mia + Eric. They bring together elements of craft, performance, cultural geography, and multi-species ethnography to create site-specific and socially-engaged works. Thematically their practice deals with interspecies relationships, biodiversity and place-based knowledge production in cities, small towns, and rural spaces. They have presented projects, artist talks, workshops, and exhibitions at both formal and DIY galleries, festivals, residencies, conferences, and post-secondary institutions regionally, nationally, and internationally. They often work in contemporary performance/theatre and visual art contexts.

Join Leila Armstrong at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre as she presents her doctoral research project, Backyard Wilderness: An interdisciplinary investigation of the urban ecology of Lethbridge.

Backyard Wilderness is an innovative exploration of urban ecology that blends scientific research with creative expression—revealing the wildlife living alongside us and challenging how we think about coexistence in the city.

Through trail cameras, community surveys, and interviews, paired with thought provoking artworks, installations, and public exhibits, Armstrong’s research weaves together data, stories, and visual culture. In this talk, she’ll share key findings from both the quantitative and qualitative sides of the project, highlighting how art and science can work together to deepen our understanding of urban wildlife—and our role in advocating for coexistence.
