A unique inter-disciplinary research symposium on the future of water. It will feature local and international representatives from academia, industry, community, and government.
A major focus will be putting Australia’s current water crises in global perspective.
The intention of the symposium is to explore past and present understandings, uses and managements of water; formulate an action plan for Western Australia’s water future; and open this discussion to a wider audience of concerned citizens.
Major themes will include:
-Making Knowledge Visible
-Cultural Environments, Practices and Interpretations
-History and Culture of Ecology and Climate
-International Experience
An art exhibition titled ‘Jila Jumu Jiwari Wirrkuja’ will display paintings about water by Indigenous artists from the Mangkaja Arts in the Kimberley, Western Australia. The exhibition will open on 14 July at the Cullity Art Gallery, School of Architecture, The University of Western Australia.
