The Library's placemaking journey began in 2017 with meetings with the Indigenous Place Making Council of Canada. Under their guidance, we visited the Stoney Nakoda, Siksika, Tsuut'ina, and Métis Nations of Alberta, as well as the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary for input on making Indigenous visual and oral storytelling more prominent in Library locations.
Indigenous Placemaking is the ongoing result. This initiative develops traditional and contemporary artworks that promote understanding of Indigenous peoples and cultures within Treaty 7 territory.
The creation of these works inspires collaboration among artists of all disciplines, backgrounds, and experience levels. Having these pieces in the Library helps create an inclusive space for sharing and gathering of all Nations and communities to learn and grow together.
New installations are unveiled at Crowfoot, Saddletowne, Seton, and Shawnessy.
Placemaking branches out into the community with new pieces at Forest Lawn and Signal Hill, as well as more work at Central.
Meet the artists whose work was unveiled as part of the Central Library's opening.
