The Wandering Island

So much action on Elbow Island this week, with more to come!

Anyone who has spent time on Elbow Island will know how complex and nuanced this space can be. We read an interview with the Urban Conservation Lead for Calgary Parks, Chris Manderson, on "Wilding in the City" that describes the relationship between city + nature in an interesting way.

A shift of perspective on Elbow Island, a place balancing precariously between city + nature, land + river, public + private, camouflaged + forgotten. Next week will be topsy-turvy with artist action onsite. This week/end, we prepare for the ceremony of install. Wish us luck!
