Common Waters is a community project that examines our relationship with water and provides a platform for us to discuss some of the most pressing issues of our time. This project explores diverse artistic, scientific, cultural, and personal perspectives through a curated sequence of art installations, workshops, discussions, gatherings, and excursions. These activations provide a platform for considering our shared waters through the lenses of environment, identity, history, and sustainability.
Please join us from June 14 to September 15, 2019 to participate in this important project and visit our two project site locations, situated on either side of the Grand River: BRIDGE Centre for Architecture + Design at 37 Main Street and Design at Riverside Gallery at 7 Melville Street South.
BRIDGE Centre for Architecture + Design Coordinators: Omar Ferwati, Nicholas Forrest Frayne, Tony Kogan, and Julia Nakanishi
