About this Event
Join us for the opening of the inaugural BUMP Urban Art Conference to hear our keynote speaker, Su Ying Strang.
Su Ying Strang (she/her) is a cultural worker based in Sikóóhkotok—the Blackfoot name for the region in which Lethbridge, Alberta is located—on the traditional territories of the Siksikaitsitapi, or Blackfoot Confederacy. Strang relocated to Sikóóhkotok in January 2022 after joining the Southern Alberta Art Gallery Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin as the organization’s Executive Director. Strang first came to Canada in 2006 to attend the Alberta University of the Arts, and has been embedded in Alberta’s not-for-profit arts sector since 2010 as an artist, arts advocate, cultural worker, and volunteer. Strang previously served as Director of The New Gallery in Mohkínstsis/Calgary, AB, providing leadership at this artist-run centre for nearly a decade. Her work prioritizes the thoughtful stewardship of artists’ practices, accessible programming for all audiences, and strong foundations for organizations through a people-centred and community-driven ethos.
