It is an indisputable fact that water is vital to all life on this planet. Every living being has a major connection to it, meanwhile it’s future is in question. In this exhibition we invite artists to share their interpretations of the significance of water that can be viewed through the lens of history, culture, ecology, preservation, spirituality, the role it plays in social justice issues intersecting indigenous rights, racial disparities, economic inequality, geographical politics and much more. Through art we aim to raise awareness, inspire urgent action, and promote a stronger appreciation of the world’s most precious resource.
