Water has always existed as a paradox. It creates and destroys; it heals as well as harms. Water shapes the land both by carrying away and leaving behind, telling the stories of the earth over and over again. Artists are among many who ask us to continually listen to these stories while remembering that we ourselves are bodies of water.

In this panel, multidisciplinary artists will share how their work engages water as creator and collaborator. Their discussion will explore the ways in which artistic practices, particularly those rooted in community and an ethic of care, can help strengthen our bonds and commitments to each other and to the natural resources on which we all depend.
