IDLE WORSHIP 2025 was a tongue-in-cheek subversion of Calgary’s car-obsessed culture, responding to the prevalence of personal vehicles by reclaiming these paved places for people, art, and ideas. A convoy of subversive creativity, IDLE WORSHIP traversed our civic landscape as so many commuters do daily ~ but more subversive intentions. Pithy and playful, IDLE WORSHIP is equal parts community project, commentary, and intervention in plain sight.
