Storied City: Early Calgary through the Eyes of Writers. This exhibit and programs reveal Calgary’s fascinating but forgotten literary heritage, with tales by and about 12 storytellers (Maxwell Bates, Elaine Catley, Bob Edwards, Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, Nellie McClung, P.K. Page, Isabel Paterson, Winnifred Eaton Reeve, Laura Goodman Salverson, Robert J.C.Stead, Arthur Stringer and Flos Jewell Williams) whom you should discover and celebrate. These are the forgotten artists who lived in and chronicled Calgary in the 1920s, a turbulent time for our city.

The exhibit includes literary works, photographs, biographies, literary excerpts, National Film Board videos, an annotated literary map of 1920’s Calgary, artifacts (including a framed broadsheet of E. Pauline Johnson’s poem Calgary of the Plains), ephemera about writing and the writing life (including a 1920’s typewriter), and an interactive soundscape of contemporary Calgary authors and storytellers reading historic writers’ works. The contemporary readers whose voices you will hear on the audio excerpts are: Juleta Severson-Baker, Will Ferguson, Rosemary Griebel, Karen Gummo, Lori Hahnel, Aritha van Herk, Betty Hersberger, Barb Howard, Dale Lee Kwong, Taylor Lambert, Kirk Miles and Fred Stenson.
