From the organiser

Water teaches you that nothing stands alone. To follow a river, a bog, a glacier, or an estuary is to move through worlds that precede you and worlds that will outlast you. In its motion, water gathers stories, sediments histories, sutures continents, and reveals the frictions that shape the present planetary condition. It is migrant, cyclical, vulnerable, and yet infinitely resilient.

The Word for World Is Water: World-Building and Creative Resistance Through Liquid Alliances, ed. Katya Garcia-Anton/Margarida Mendes, Spector Books, Leipzig, 2026

In Wurundjeri Woiwurrung language, Tarrawarra translates approximately as 'slow moving waters'. The new rehang of the Visible Art Storage in the Eva and Marc Besen Centre, Waterways, invites you to explore how water has been depicted and evoked by Australian artists since 1945 in the TarraWarra Museum of Art Collection.

The prominent display screens will feature curated and iconic moments from Australian Art History, including Brett Whitely's ultramarine Sydney Harbour view; Leonard French's multi-coloured turtles and fish; Janet Laurence's mossy forest canopies, at risk of deforestation; Brent Harris' surreal monochromatic 'swamp' tendrils; Judy Watson's fish spine; Imants Tillers' appropriation of a colonial waterfall painting; and Janet Dawson's 'Ripple'. All capture the life-giving force of water and the powerful ways it sustains and nourishes your everyday ecologies.
