‘Water and People’ is a group exhibition exploring our ways of seeing, experiencing, and relating to water. Through painting, sculpture, poetry, sound, and embroidery, artists explore how we communicate about water, and whose voices are heard in conversations around water security, river health, and climate change.
Alongside artwork flowing from the River Tyne and the Northeast of England, we present creative outputs from community-focused research from the Water Security and Sustainable Development Hub by our partners in Colombia, Ethiopia, India, and Malaysia.
The exhibition is accompanied by ‘Confluences’ – a series of creative workshops, open to all, designed to bring people together to discuss the material, social, cultural, and political aspects of our relationships with water.
