Water Futures is an exhibition bringing together Bay Area artists, technologists, and cross-disciplinary makers to explore what it means to live as bodies of water with ecosystems, infrastructures, and histories beyond ourselves. Through immersive, interactive, and multisensory works that move, drip, erode, freeze, and respond, the exhibition traces how water shapes memory, labor, care, and survival amid accelerating environmental change. From unequal access and global flows to Indigenous stewardship, shifting shorelines, and nonhuman kinship, Water Futures foregrounds water as an active force linking intimacy to infrastructure, climate to care, and human life to all other living systems.
The Port of San Francisco manages 7.5 miles of waterfront that is home to popular destinations and attractions, historic districts, small businesses and robust maritime opportunities. The Port works to advance environmentally and financially sustainable maritime, recreational, and economic opportunities for the City, Bay Area, and California.
The Hydrocolonialism Institute (HI) is a research initiative focused on understanding how colonialism shaped water access, control, and politics, integrating humanities and sciences with Indigenous knowledge to analyze water as a tool for power, resource extraction (like dams, mining, agriculture), and creating inequalities. The HI aims to bring equitable, sustainable solutions by centering affected communities in research and policy. It supports member projects, disseminates findings through various media, and works to make water-related power dynamics visible and uncover water solidarities so we can work towards more equitable and sustainable futures.
