Watershed: Art, Activism, and Community Engagement     Milwaukee, WI Inspired by Betsy Damon's lectures, this project addresses the shifting ecological and political dimensions of water. This project, organized by Raoul Deal and Nicolas Lampert, uses art as a form of activism to comment on water issues in Milwaukee and the Great Lakes Basin, and their impact on the world at large It tackles issues such as water shortages, notions of abundance, water privatization, invasive species, industrial pollution, and water as a human right. Betsy Damon has a continued presence in the community as a consultant on this ongoing project. For more information about Watershed click here. Photos (from top left) 1.
