Weaving Water | World Water 2024 explores the concepts of water, relational ways of being, ecosystems restoration and connectivity. It is a virtual residency program happening between 11 to 22 March, culminating in an exhibition acknowledging World Water Day, Friday 22 March at Treecreate Studio.
The theme for World Water Day in 2024 is Leveraging Water for Peace.
“World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is all about taking action to tackle the global water crisis.
A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030. This is to ensure that all have access to safe water throughout the world by 2030!
In 2024, the World Water Day campaign is led by the UN-Water Expert group on climate and water.” UN Water https://www.unwater.org/our-work/world-water-day
Our continuing Weaving Water program brings together scientists, knowledge holders, technologists and creatives to work collaboratively, with a focus on linking diverse knowledges to co-create across disciplines and meditate on the themes of ecological restoration, water and the more-than-human.
Our inaugural onsite residency, Weaving Water @ Yarun was held between 27 November and 8 December with over 20 participants converging on Yarun Bribie Island to connect, create and learn about the fragile ecologies of this sand island situated in Moreton Bay, Australia.
