More DescriptionWater is the source of all life. In many traditional cultures, water is imbued with feminine roles and symbolism. Women are the protectors of water, because women give birth and are seen as the keepers of water. This exhibit celebrates and honors water by portraying women who work with it, protect it and advocate for it. Featured are scientists, water-walkers, teachers, farmers, activists and healers, who all hold deep connections with water. It is our hope that this globally inspired exhibit will help develop and strengthen our own ties with water, and inspire actions to further protect our waters. Twenty-eight handwoven jacquard portraits form the core of the exhibit.
