Sharing Water

About the project

The interdisciplinary project SHARING WATER explored the meaning of sharing a resource we all depend on.

The project embraced an investigation on water treatment at four European source regions (2019-2021), a traveling group exhibition in these regions (2021-2023) and a row of interdisciplinary events on sharing water in Vienna 2022/23.

The Continental watershed separating the basins of the major European rivers and cultural areas from each other was taken as a symbol and geographical grounds for the implementation of the project.

Traveling Exhibition

Curated by Regina Hügli, a group exhibition dealing with the Continental watershed and water bodies was shown at local museums of European source regions between 2021-2023 (Town Museum Králíky, CZ, Talmuseum Ursern, Andermatt, CH, Sala Segantini, Savognin, CH a.o.). The SHARING WATER exhibition aimed to raise awareness for the importance of water treatment at the source regions and foster the flow of information between them.

Moreover, the SHARING WATER project presented itself also as a pop-up-exhibition at special occasions and places, e.g. The House of Switzerland in Multilateral Vienna (2021) or the Romanshorner Luftspiele (2022).

Sharing Water - House of Switzerland

Ritual of Earth (2022)

The artistic flow of the project was accompanied by Austrian artist Barbara Anna Husar as artistic navigator, interweaving her personal work and her network.
As a personal, artistic contribution, she created the visionary RITUAL FOR EARTH, which took place March 16th 2022. 

By her hot air balloon Flying Udder, Husar transported 1001 wishes of children for the future of Earth to the triple watershed at Pass Lunghin and entrusted them to the wind and the three directions of water flow. 

 

Interdisciplinary Events

In 2022/23 One Body of Water Association organized a series of SHARING WATER events in Vienna in cooperation with the Museum of Natural History, the Volkskundemuseum and the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

The interdisciplinary dialog formats deal with the question what an equitable and sustainable sharing of the resource water entails.
