The Museum of Bow is a mobile archive that celebrates the Bow River and pays homage to its stories. Through collecting and re-working found narratives and materials characterized by their relationship to the river, the artists will create a temporary public site for exploration and wonder. Roving between various Calgary locations, the museum will act as a bridge between the river and the city, fostering new perspectives and connections.
