Actions for Water

When

Fridays, 10am to 4pm Friday 13 June to Friday 25 July

By intertwining artistic practice with ecological advocacy, Actions for Water fosters a deeper understanding of our relationship with water and its vital role in sustaining life.

Actions for Water unites artists, architects, and cartographers from diverse geographies to examine swamps, ponds, wetlands, and subterranean waters as vital ecologies of renewal. While frameworks like the Ramsar Convention aim to protect these environments, their ongoing degradation highlights the urgent need for intervention. Reimagined as interconnected zones of ancestral, ecological, and scientific networks, subterranean waterscapes are envisioned as spaces of radical sensuality, otherworldliness, and speculative possibilities.

Celebrated for their biodiversity and cultural significance, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect on what lies beneath. Environmental approaches to urbanism, and regenerative futures rooted in care, creativity, and resilience are central themes explored through the works presented. By intertwining artistic practice with ecological advocacy, Actions for Water fosters a deeper understanding of our relationship with water and its vital role in sustaining life.
