iArts Year 2 students warmly invite you to join the exhibition called ‘4.500000000’ — 4.5 billion years, the estimated age of water on planet Earth. This exhibition is part of the finalization of the project Arts&Ecologies: On Water #3.
Why do we destroy what we love? As art students, do we contribute to the degradation of natural environments when we source wild clay from a local river? How do our cultural and spiritual upbringings—from different parts of the world—influence the way we approach artistic practice?
With these and other pressing questions, we invite you to join us in a series of gestures—through making, reflecting,
‘4.500000000’
