CULTURAL
Through these installations, both visitors and local inhabitants will learn about the vital history of the Eastern Sierra watershed and the diverse life it sustains. The project aims to foster understanding, inspire responsible water use, and instill hope for a future where this precious resource is valued and protected.
STORY TELLERS
Water gives and moves freely,
Water carries our memories,
Water holds our intentions,
Free to exist - in its ice, rain, snow,
dew, mist, clouds,
oceans, rivers, streams, springs, aquifers –
Water flows, unbound and alive,
bearing the stories of land and people
By Elton
