Dear ADA people, I'd like to inform you that the deadline for submitting works to the virtual exhibition "HOT WATER Water, Peace & War" has been extended to the 14 March 2015. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Artists, scientists, activists, teachers, youth are invited to upload videos, digital postcards, poems or texts on the theme of ³HOT WATER²: climate change, environmental decline, rights violations, volatile politics and conflict about water. INFO http://bit.ly/HOT-WATER Please consider contributing and share far and wide Cheers from rainy Brisbane (under the influence of Cyclone Marcia) Suzon Waterwheel, Make and Share about Water ****************************************** The English expression 'To be in HOT WATER' means to be in trouble. Currently, climate change, environmental decline, rights violations, volatile politics and conflict all suggest 'HOT WATER'. Water is a fundamental element for all beings on Earth. A symbol of life and a 'common good' which should be available to all, water is quickly becoming a commodity to some, and often taken as hostage in conflicts to besiege and displace populations. Corporates, governments, and industries such as mining and tourism use it for their own short-term benefits, depriving people especially Indigenous people and farmers of their rights, causing pollution, threatening health and the environment, and compromising long-term water management. How can art, science, design, and activism reinstate the social, cultural and environmental value of water? How can we share the responsibility of water in a positive way? How can we all preserve the right of access to water? How can intergenerational knowledge-sharing get us out of ³HOT WATER², end conflict and find peace? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ English: http://bit.ly/HOT-WATER Español: http://bit.ly/AGUAS-TURBULENTAS Français: http://bit.ly/EAU-TROUBLE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
