Northern Reflections Window Exhibition

Second year features more artists, more animators, and more window magic

By: Amy Jo Espetveidt

This holiday season be sure to join Buds Collective for the opportunity to engage with an amazing immersive art experience.

The Northern Reflections Window Exhibition turns Calgary into an interactive urban art-walk for its second year. With just a smartphone and the free app AUGLE, you can bring each window to life and see the augmented reality hidden within.

Calgary Arts Development and Trico Changemakers Studio collaborated with local artist Barbara Amos and animator Mike Hooves for one part of this unique and engaging experience. Swing by the Bisset School of Business at Mount Royal University (4825 Mount Royal Circle SW) from November 13 to December 31, 2018 to see the finished piece.

Other stops include windows at the TELUS Convention Centre, One18 Empire, the East Village Experience Centre, Cococo Chocolatiers, and more. Bring a loved one and a hot beverage to tour the exhibition and you’ve got a perfect way to celebrate the winter season.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Metis Nations 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit peoples from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
