"TEETERING X TOTTERING (ON THE BRINK)"

Check out this kinetic sculpture by Laure Drogoul, made from wood, repurposed plastic bottles and water that invites the participants to level and stabilize themselves using the shared water in the sculpture as a balancing mechanism. Through movement the work creates a relationship between the participants and creates an experiential awareness of water as a shared resource.

"LET'S MEET AGAIN IN 2032 (UNLESS EITHER ONE OF USE ARE DEAD)"

Stop by Hugh Pocock's installation to receive an invitation to a picnic that will occur in 2032. At the picnic, people will discuss their lives and the events that have taken place since 2018. Many of these will be about the rapidly changing climate and what will have happened between then and now.
