Curated by Sharmila Wood and Amelia Wallin

Actions for Water II brings together interdisciplinary practioners from diverse geographies to explore water as both a vital ecology and a site of speculative possibilities. In response to escalating privatisation, pollution and degradation, artists reclaim water as a shared commons that is imbued with cultural memory, collective histories and communal stewardship. The works reflect sustained engagement with water’s many forms and meanings, tracing connections across geographies and knowledge systems.
