Art and science collide to provoke new thinking about water
- Wits University
What does a polluted river sound like? How does sand-filtered water taste? Will acid mine drainage scald your skin? Do oceans echo?
Wits University presents WATERSHED: Art, Science, Elemental Politics, a unique, topical, and important programme of exhibitions and academic symposia to provoke new thinking about water.

- There’s a seminar on how Joburg can avoid a “Day Zero” and a symposium on how big da
