Water is life. This exhibition presents a selection of works from the Darebin Art Collection that talk to the ways in which water inhabits our lives and sustains our livelihoods. Water is also complex, the politics of water guides the way we move through the world. From Darebin’s surrounding creeks to the Pacific Ocean, these artworks tell the story of the ways in which water has shaped us.

Featured artists include: Aunty Gwen Garoni, Hayley Millar-Baker, Shannon Smiley, Darren Trewin, Charles Troedel and David Wadelton.
