Knowing Water
My project aims to understand public engagement with water. My intent is to implement a creative space for the general public to present the ways in which they know, experience, and think about water, expressed through art, prose, and/or performance. I plan to collaborate with marine science/environmental education centers in the state of Washington to include a public forum component on their websites for the public to submit their engagement/thinking with water in all its forms. This project will extend the citizen scientist model into the field of humanities by culling embodied experiences and the ways in which water stories lives and is storied.
