Water Stories: River Goddesses, Ancestral Rites, and Climate Crisis
ExhibitionThe exhibition Water Stories: River Goddesses, Ancestral Rites, and Climate Crisis presents artworks that treat water not as a commodity to be exploited but as a cyclical, life-giving, life-dissolving, and inert but innately alive spiritual force—a view widely shared among Indigenous communities, especially in the Global South.

A Female Landscape and the Abstract Gesture
ExhibitionDuring the long decade of the 1970s, artists replaced traditional artistic gestures with other operations, creating new abstract languages and vocabularies. This exhibition shows how four artists nailed, glued, unraveled, twisted, folded, pierced, and tied, and most importantly, fastened—all to aesthetic effect—to highlight the labor of art making.
