Free exhibition - Thirst: In Search of Freshwater

Thirst is a universal human experience shared with most living beings. With only 3% of the water on Earth being freshwater, our land thirsts too.
'Thirst: In Search of Freshwater' explores humanity’s vital connection with freshwater as an essential source of life and pillar of good health.

From ancient Mesopotamia and Victorian London to modern-day Nepal and Singapore, the exhibition highlights the vital role of freshwater in shaping health and ecosystems; the consequences of mismanagement, like the spread of infectious disease; and community-led solutions to the global water crisis.

'Thirst' features 125 objects, including historical artefacts, contemporary materials and artworks from Gideon Mendel, Chloe Dewe Mathews, Susan Schuppli, Anthony Acciavatti, Dala Nasser, Adib Dada, M’hammed Kilito, and Adam Rouhana, amongst others. Through new commissions by Raqs Media Collective, Karan Shrestha and Feifei Zhou and Zahirah Suhaimi (SEACoast), we invite you on an immersive journey to uncover our relationship with water.

Let’s meet for a slow, lazy winters Sunday - catch the exhibition, some lunch and drinks after.

See you there!

Ps. My events start at the stated time so please be a bit early 😎
