Alex Kwong

Commissioned by CMLC, Kitao’wahsinnooni: What Sustains Us by Calgary artist Alex Kwong is a temporary portrait-based mural installation along RiverWalk. Inspired by stories shared by community members with deep connections to the Bow and Elbow Rivers, the work explores themes of heritage, healing, resilience and the relationships that sustain us.
