SUBMERGE
When we think of water, we are mostly thinking of the 3% that is freshwater on Earth. What does it mean to think of water beyond its being a resource: water is after all a weird substance. It is present in the smallest of living cells as well in gigantic glaciers and oceans.
Water shapes landscapes, lives, and legacies. Yet, access to and use of water is neither equitable nor compassionate. Our oceans are polluted, our groundwater is depleting and our rivers and lakes are drying up.
Science Gallery Bengaluru’s first exhibition-season SUBMERGE (15 December - 30 January) showcases what could happen if geologists, hydrologists, artists, civil engineers, ecologists, social scientists, oceanographers, historians, and storytellers, among others, shared and created knowledge about water to address challenges and identify futures.
SUBMERGE participates in the Government of Karnataka 'Year of Water' initiative and features the Smithsonian's popular exhibition 'H2O Today' facilitated by the US Consulate, Chennai.
