The Hooghly River, once a hub for trade and faith, is fast becoming a canvas for ephemeral public art. From bamboo sculptures on ghats to floating installations made of recycled materials, artists are reclaiming the riverbank with creativity and eco-consciousness.
These site-specific works often address climate change, water pollution, and heritage loss. During events like River Festival Kolkata or Ebb & Flow, installations glow at dusk—turning the river into a gallery of reflection and hope.
