Like Water is a major group exhibition that makes fluid connections between intergenerational, geographically dispersed artists and art forms. The artistic practices gathered in Like Water demonstrate multifaceted engagement with water as an elemental force of profound poetic associations and material realities. The featured artworks consider water’s life-giving ability alongside its destructive power, affecting cultural, natural, and sociopolitical systems. They also employ watery metaphors to convey flooding, emotionality, and resistance. The historic immensity of water is taken on in works that evoke the Middle Passage and address present-day communities living along the Mississippi River.
