Summer Episode 2: At Its Essence: What Indigenous Teachings Tell Us About Water
|
|
|
In our first mini-episode of the summer season, we turn to three guests from our past seasons to explore Indigenous ways of knowing, and to look more closely at the sacred nature of water — how various people understand it, conserve it and co-exist with it.

The Art-Water-Climate Connection Exhibition Brings Together Art & Science
The Virtual Water Gallery is a science and art pilot project that aims to provide a safe, inclusive and collaborative space for discussions about past, present and future water-related challenges between scientists, artists, knowledge-keepers and the general public. During the pandemic, artists connected with teams of Global Water Futures scientists to explore water-related challenges in Canada. These collaborations led to the co-creation of the Art-Water-Climate Connection Exhibition.
