In advance of World Water Day, Water in a Shared World: Artist Perspectives (practice or action) will feature four artists who have taken artistic practice and expression as a potent means to reach people across the globe. Each of them has interpreted the urgency of the water crisis today as the focus of a creative expression. The circumstances we are living in today require us to connect globally — to share and grapple with the pressing, emerging, threatening challenges that transcend borders. The panelists are deeply concerned about how artistic practice can build awareness and inspire further action. Registration is free to all.

This program is part of an ongoing project “Agents of Change in an Interdependent World,” a series of programs, cosponsored by OneShared.World, the Culture as Diplomacy Initiative of the Asia Society, and the John Brademas Center of New York University.
