Central Library Indigenous Placemaking

“Spiritual Changes Through Indigenous Teachings (Future)”

As part of the efforts of ReconciliAction, the Calgary Central Library recruited artists for a Permanent Placemaking mural, the theme ‘Past Present Future’ plays a role, Kalum’s ‘Future’ mural serves as tool to revitalize traditional Indigenous knowledge offering a path forward for Indigenous peoples, allowing us to navigate today's world while staying rooted in their cultural identity. This journey is not just about moving ahead; it's about embracing the wisdom of our ancestors, ensuring that our heritage continues to thrive in a contemporary society.
