Practising Water is an ongoing artistic research project that explores the spiritual, material, and ecological relationships between humans and water. Emerging from the source of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia, the project navigates through hydrological, ritual, and political entanglements that reveal water as a being, one that listens, remembers, and transforms. Through fieldwork, storytelling, and studio-based practices, Practising Water reimagines water not as a resource or subject but as a co-creator of knowledge and relation.

The project unfolds through paintings, installations, performances, and collaborations that draw on river cosmologies and Indigenous ethics of opacity. Using materials such as goatskin parchment and woven cotton, the works become vessels of memory, care, and responsibility. Across exhibitions, workshops, and gatherings, Practising Water invites audiences to listen, breathe, and sense with water, asking how we might live and create through its ways of being.
