Inglewood: Conflux and Community (19th Street)

Kat Simmers is a trans woman, artist, author and muralist working in comic media and street art to create community connections through visual media. Due to this box’s proximity to the Piitoyais urban Indigenous school, a strong majority of respondents requested the design incorporate elements of Indigenous culture and history. To this end, Dawn at Calgary Arts Development connected me with Elder Adrian Wolfleg. Thanks to the gracious support of Elder Wolfleg, I learned about the significance of marks found on Blackfoot Tipi’s, the story of the Lost boys and the vital teaching of the sacred seven.
