Water as Universal Currency: Power, Memory, and Our Shared Future - SOLD OUT

What if water isn’t just a resource - but a force that connects all living systems across time?

Join Greg Niemeyer, data artist and Professor of Media Innovation at University of California, Berkeley, for a lecture that rethinks how water moves through the world - and through us.

Taking tiat’s Water Futures as a starting point, Niemeyer invites us to see water as something that flows through oceans and clouds, cities and data centers, plants, animals, and human bodies alike. As it circulates, water carries energy, food, labor, and memory - shaping survival and possibility.

Drawing on Indigenous stewardship, colonial histories, urban systems, and emerging technologies, this talk explores how art can help us notice water’s power to sustain, disrupt, connect, and transform - without ever claiming to contain it.
