YOUR WALK LEADER: Adam Schwartz / AGS.YYC (he/him) is a born and raised Calgarian, and a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on “attaching stuff to city stuff” to make more cities more vibrant, enjoyable, and inclusive. Adam is fixated on the urban realm and the various ways it includes and excludes people from participating in its design and transformation. Adam works with found objects, recycled materials, bright colours, and engaging displays to answer questions about the ways citizens interact with their public surroundings. His work can currently be found hidden throughout downtown Calgary, and North Central neighbourhoods, as he incrementally attempts to turn obscure and meaningless spaces into more mysterious and whimsical places.
