Water Pressure: Designing for the Future
Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg
15 March - 13 October 2024
Water Pressure: Designing for the Future is a major museum exhibition that presents over a decade of Jane Withers Studio’s pioneering research into the future of water.
Water – whether too much or too little, clean or unsafe – is one of the most pressing human preoccupations. Today, we face a global water crisis due mainly to mismanagement and overuse. If we are to share a liveable future for all, including plants and animals, we must urgently rethink how we value and manage this contested resource.
Water Pressure brings together ideas and solutions from across design, science, and activism that offer new perspectives on and understandings of the challenges of water. These approaches look beyond the industrial narrative and current technological and economic focus, embracing local and Indigenous knowledge and foregrounding natural systems and water justice to help shape a more imaginative and resilient water culture.
