#Water_Voices is an on-going participatory art project that engages the audience through creative storytelling, sounds, and visual artworks (collages and posters on water issues, object-based small-scale installation).
It originated as a hypothetic proposal in a course called Socially-Engaged Art Practice in 2019 at the School of Art and Design (SoAD), ANU. The art students in collaboration then, Beth Johnston (painter, sculptor), Elissa Jackson (painter and musician), Linyi Pang (Zora) (storytelling facilitator, printmaker and creative producer) and Xingweiai Fang (Bob) (painter and designer), decided to carry out the proposal after finishing the course. Joanne Leong (multi-media artist and DJ) another ANU student, joined us recently and will lead the making of experimental music.
The project aims to enable and facilitate dialogues around water issues like saving water, drought or flood, water-safety, and so on, and to address the diverse influence of water, whether it is nurturing like watering plants or disastrous like drowning, through the sharing of personal stories and experience of artworks around the theme.
