Three to See Edmonton Events: Inseparable Fragments, Felice Noir and Sometimes I Think About Dying – Edmonton Journal
Article content
Inseparable Fragments: Through mesmerizing digital collage hanging in Art Gallery St. Albert’s Staircase Art Gallery, Santosh Korthiwada preserves his memories of a lifetime in India.
The Calgary artist digitally stitched hundreds of his photographs together, each fragment chosen because it holds a piece of memory — a sound, a smell, a place or a person. Cosmic yet wonderfully terrestrial, many small parts come together to craft a universal whole. His in-person tour is noon Friday, so come say hello.

Felice Noir: Bobby Tarian and Tayler Grace play the latest Felice Noir at the beautiful café near Commonwealth Stadium with the giant fiddle leaf fig plant up front. Influenced by introspection and the Prairie sunsets, Tarian’s dreamy sound is a blend of indie-folk and synth-rock, reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens, Tame Impala, The Strokes and Andy Shauf.
Inspired by artists like Lord Huron, Hozier and Gregory Alan Isakov, meanwhile, Tayler’s music encapsulates more of a country folk vibe.

Sometimes I Think About Dying (2024): Exploring how challenging it is to create human connections, Star Wars’ Daisey Ridley plays Fran in Rachel Lambert’s new romantic-comedy-drama. In the film, Fran is a socially awkward social worker who spends most of her time alone, daydreaming of her own death, when new co-worker Robert — played by Canadian stand-up comic Dave Merheje — bursts her isolation bubble.
“Sometimes, she’s like, ‘I don’t want to play your games. I don’t want to talk about food. I’m good, I’m apart from this,’” Ridley told a crowd at Sundance. “And other times, she’s like, ‘How do I become part of this?’ So I resonated with that.”

LONDON (AP) — With a few daubs of a paintbrush, the Brontë sisters have got their dots back.
More than eight decades after it was installed, a memorial to the three 19th-century sibling novelists in London’s Westminster Abbey was amended Thursday to restore the diaereses – the two dots over the e in their surname.
The dots — which indicate that the name is pronounced “brontay” rather than “bront” — were omitted when the stone tablet commemorating Charlotte, Emily and Anne was erected in the abbey’s Poets’ Corner in October 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II.
They were restored after Brontë historian Sharon Wright, editor of the Brontë Society Gazette, raised the issue with Dean of Westminster David Hoyle. The abbey asked its stonemason to tap in the dots and its conservator to paint them.
“There’s no paper record for anyone complaining about this or mentioning this, so I just wanted to put it right, really,” Wright said. “These three Yorkshire women deserve their place here, but they also deserve to have their name spelled correctly.”
It’s believed the writers’ Irish father Patrick changed the spelling of his surname from Brunty or Prunty when he went to university in England.
Raised on the wild Yorkshire moors, all three sisters died before they were 40, leaving enduring novels including Charlotte’s “Jane Eyre,” Emily’s “Wuthering Heights” and Anne’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”
Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Society, welcomed the restoration.
“As the Brontës and their work are loved and respected all over the world, it’s entirely appropriate that their name is spelled correctly on their memorial,” she said.
