CURRENTS is an exhibition that examines our relationship to water. Featuring the works of 15 contemporary artists, it looks at water as protagonist, collaborator, and material, inviting viewers to reflect on the dynamic forces that shape our interactions with this essential element.
The works in CURRENTS contemplate tides, migration, ecosystems, climate change, saturation, sustenance, and hydration, and sit at the intersection of the arts and sciences, amplify First Nations voices, and advocate for collective conservation.
CURRENTS is both an artistic endeavor and a call to action; unravelling our reliance on, and reverence of, water, and delving into the issues that surround water scarcity, security, and climate change. CURRENTS presents important and stirring works that bring the importance of water conservation and protection to the forefront.
