The Androscoggin River, once devastated by contamination and labeled one of the 10 most polluted rivers in the country, is now partially recovered and in a new phase. The complexities of the river&#8217;s legacy and its potential are captured in a cross-disciplinary, collaborative project by Bowdoin professors Matthew Klingle and Michael Kolster.
Klingle, an environmental historian, and Kolster, a photographer, pose important questions about its shifting cultural and economic status in their interactive installation, A River Lost and Found: The Androscoggin in Time and Place, a companion to the Bowdoin College Museum of Art&#8217;s William Wegman: Hello Nature, both of which opened July 13.
Also incorporated are oral histories collected on an ongoing basis from members of the Maine community &#x2026;
