Introducing Humainologie.
Supported by the Calgary Centre for Global Community (CCGC), Humainologie is a production house whose work directly contributes to CCGC’s mission of inspiring and enabling effective global citizenship. We believe that the more we truly connect with ourselves and with others, the more we will naturally create a more humane global community.
"Humain" in French means both "human" and "humane". Humainologie recognizes the possibility of embracing both the opportunity to become more humane as a society, and the opportunity to recognize and accept our own and others' imperfect humanness. Somewhere between or within the two, is where we think there's an opening.

#timewemet
Our exhibit 'under an umbrella we met', features eight short films where you can step into the actual, worn shoes of the person you are watching. The initial series, 'Faces of Islam' introduces the experiences and views of eight Muslims from different parts of the world. The exhibit has been shared at Calgary's City Hall, with the Aga Khan Foundation Canada's "Together" touring exhibit, at TedEx Calgary, GlobalFest Calgary, and various post-secondary institutions throughout Alberta.
A further 'under an umbrella we met' film series sharing the stories of six Indigenous Youth in Alberta, Canada, is currently in production.
The experience of wearing the shoes of the person in the film helps to intensify the connection between the viewer and the film subject.
