The waterers
Exhibit Reception November 8 2024 5PM / Studio 213
The Waterers is a community centered campaign dedicated to informing the public on watersheds and waterways through a collection of shared stories on our relationships with water. The project is embedded in the idea that knowledge and history flows from one generation to another like water flows through rivers, and skies and beneath the ground - to places that nourish growth and understanding.
