Welcome
This exhibition poses questions about how we live in relationship to rivers. Can we live with the rivers that flood us? Or is the river something that we should control and use for our own benefit? The exhibition does not give answers to these questions, but rather we ask you to join us on a journey alongside three rivers, three geographical locations and three cultures, to listen to people’s experiences of being flooded and to join us to develop a global future that enables us to think differently about our rivers, cities, and environment.
Living with water exhibition is divided into three spaces
Space 1 - Introduction to three rivers
This space introduces three Rivers in three countries that became flooded during extreme storms.
​
Space 2 - Experiences of flooding rivers
This is an installation of imagery, objects, light and sound, where extracts of spoken experiences of flooding of each of the introduced rivers in Space 1 can be heard, while exploring a space of light, darkness and sound.
Space 3 - Influencing a future
This is a space where thoughts, ideas and desires are brought together to think about our present relationship with rivers and how we can influence society to build a better future living with water.
