Event Description:
Women and Water: Woven Portraits from Around the World
Water is the source of all life. This presentation and exhibit by artist Mary Burns celebrates and honors water, as well as the women who work with it, protect it and advocate for it. Featured are women from across the world who are scientists, water-walkers, teachers, farmers, activists and healers, who hold deep connections with water. The intent of this globally-inspired exhibit is to help develop and strengthen our own ties with water and inspire actions to protect our waters.
Twenty-nine handwoven jacquard portraits form the core of the exhibit. Each of these women have powerful connections with water and Mary will share some of these stories and weavings in her presentation.
