    HYDROMEMORIES An exhibition on the theme of water
    The interdisciplinary project Hydromemories brings into discussion both the current private and industrial wastage of water and the future crisis in its worldwide provision. The guarantee of individual public access to water is understood to be a universal right.
    In cooperation with Engineers without Borders a relief action is initiated, in which art together with science will be brought into action in order to facilitate the building of water cisterns in Tanzania.
    In 2009 the project Hydromemories will be presented in Italy, in cooperation with the A.Titolo curatorial team, and in Venezuela, in cooperation with the Goethe Institut in Caracas. (www.hydromemories.com)
