Join us on April 24–25 for Currents of Change: A Water Stories Symposium, an interdisciplinary gathering designed to deepen our understanding of human-water relationships. Building on the themes explored in our Water Stories exhibition, this two-day event will bring together voices from across the arts, sciences, public policy, and academia to explore the ecological, cultural, and poetic dimensions of water. From microbial ecosystems to urban waterways, the symposium will investigate water as both a material and metaphorical force-shaped by human and non-human actors alike. Together, we aim to catalyze new conversations around care, stewardship, and the future of water in a rapidly changing world.
In addition to panels and talks, the symposium will feature hands-on workshops, tea ceremonies, sound baths and an incredible performance by Britton Smith and The Sting, who will perform MAMA-a powerful funk set celebrating and singing to water. These immersive experiences are designed to activate the senses, foster community, and create space for collective reflection on our relationship with this vital element.
We warmly invite you to join our community and connect with others who are deeply committed to the health of our waters and to living in symbiosis with nature.
