It now flows hidden and mostly forgotten through storm sewers. You can catch echoes of its waters whispering from certain storm drains. Ghost Rivers reveals the hidden history and path of Sumwalt Run\, which now flows through underground culverts beneath the Remington and Charles Village neighborhoods. Through a series of installations\, wayfinding markers\, and writings Ghost Rivers brings lost landscapes and histories to the surface. Along the way the project draws connections between Baltimore’s watershed\, its social history\, and the evolving relationships between natural and human environments. \nBefore Sumwalt Run’s ignoble turn as concrete culvert\, it witnessed eras of Baltimore’s urban history. Its frozen waters appeared in ice boxes across the city\, cut from the city’s first commercial ice pond and a later artificial ice factory. Trolley tracks crossed its ravine\, bringing workers home from downtown factories. The Olmsted Company attempted to preserve part of the stream as a greenway\, but real estate developers filled its valley (using debris from the Great Baltimore Fire of 1905\, according to local lore). When Baltimore built a new sewer system in the early 20th century\, Sumwalt Run and dozens of other creeks across the city were turned into buried storm sewers and disappeared from memory. Ghost Rivers reveals these hidden histories and offers a glimpse into past and future city landscapes. \nghostrivers.com
