艺术家会谈

Artist 坎努帕·汉斯卡·卢格 was born in North Dakota on the 立岩保留区 and identifies as Manda, 希多特萨人, 阿里卡拉, Lakora, 奥地利, 和挪威. 然而，坎努帕的大部分工作都是跨学科的， 皇冠官网网站有代理 是ceramic-centric.

坎努帕在圣达菲的工作室创作的艺术品, New Mexico is used as a catalyst to create a larger dialogue that challenges expectations and misinterpretations of indigenous populations imposed by historical and contemporary colonialism. Cannupa has exhibited his work nationally as well as lectured on the topics of cultural appropriation, 环境保护论, 以及采掘业的破坏性影响.  在皇冠官网网站采访坎努帕期间，他们谈到了他们的工作 皇冠官网网站有代理 and 这不是蛇 as well as the larger installation created by members of the Winter Count Collective.

在CVA过去的一次展览中， 交叉电流, Cannupa met 梅里特。约翰逊 and 尼古拉斯甘丙肽 who are artists also working to change perceptions of contemporary indigenous art.

这些艺术家, 和其他成员一起, 成立了“冬季计数”——一个培养意识的集体, 尊重, 对土地和水的荣誉和保护. This collective worked most notably to create mirrored shield that reflected the law enforcement agencies that opposed indigenous water protectors at the 立岩保留区. 为 水线, the collective presented both works of Cannupa’s alongside work of Merritt and Nicholas providing an engrossing experience that challenges the audience to rethink their impact on the environment and establish the viewer as a global citizen.

从2014年开始合作, Nicholas and Merritt have no conceptual or materialistic limitations to their collaborations and this is evident in the work exhibited in 水线.

他们作品的背景， 让一只眼睛更好地看你, is a video that features drone footage of untouched American landscapes while the table shows an unfinished carving of a drone, 祈祷面具, 不完整的珠饰, 还有各种工具. 两位艺术家都在表演他们的作品，尼古拉斯经常扮演“白卡佛还有梅里特 记录她的表演这就是为什么他们的作品都是未完成的. 当与坎努帕的作品并列时, 这个装置有助于围绕水提供一个完整的叙事, 政策, 和管理工作.

壹世界壹水中心

壹世界壹水中心 (OWOW)是丹佛州立大学和 丹佛植物园 并努力培养一个受过良好教育的人, 授权, solution-oriented Colorado citizenry to protect and preserve our precious water resources. 位于密歇根州立大学丹佛校区, OWOW offers a Water Studies Minor and Certificate that provide students with the skills necessary to become more knowledgeable of Colorado’s limited water resources, 以及如何保护这一最宝贵的资源. These programs are available to any MSU 丹佛 student regardless of their major. 来自奥罗拉校区所有三所院校的学生都可以加入 水协会学生管理城市计划 (W.A.S.S.U.P.) which aims to discuss and address the spectrum of regional and global water issues. The mission is to show tangible results of the educational benefits of the Water Studies Minor and Certificate provided by the 同一个世界同一个水中心城市水教育和管理. Through the Minor and Certificate offered at MSU 丹佛 and the tri-institutional WASSUP club 壹世界壹水中心 and the 丹佛植物园 want to increase the number of participants in the conversations surrounding water 政策. Having multiple perspectives and backgrounds enriches the dialogue and creates unique solutions to complex problems.

CVA采访了市场总监Jennifer Riley-Chetwynd & 社会责任，在丹佛植物园关于水资源管理. The issues and policies around water can be very complex and hard to navigate. That is why CVA and the 丹佛植物园 worked together to reduce the barriers of entry into this conversation through 水线: a creative exchange. By using art as a vehicle for the message of water stewardship more people are able to start talking about how water affects their lives, 他们的社区, 这个世界. When art is used to start conversations larger groups are exposed to different perspectives on water and water 政策. 无论是通过艺术展览还是花园, it is important to highlight the important topic of water stewardship so that more people are involved in the conversations surrounding it. 了解更多关于丹佛植物园及其项目的信息 在这里.
