Call the Waves

‘Call the Waves’ is a group exhibition and public programme that explores interconnected relationships with different bodies of water. Through underground waterways, springs, rivers and seas, the artists, musicians, and historians in this exhibition propose a reclaiming of songs and stories, histories and futures.

‘Call the Waves’ follows the many ways in which we can think with and learn from water, emerging from investigations into the transformations and dynamics that shape our sense of belonging. The exhibition holds the echoes of displacement and extraction that are interwoven with colonialism and modernisation. In parallel, it summons the many waves of remembrance, and the underground channels of resistance that shape and share alternative possibilities.
