Using art as a visual and narrative critical tool, River Relations is a multi-disciplinary group exhibition that investigates the ecological and social impact of hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River. The fourteen dams, in BC, Washington and Oregon are heralded for massive energy production and economic benefits; however, they have incurred environmental costs and impacted the lives of many in the surrounding watershed regions.
River Relations Interdisciplinary Research Team: Matthew Evenden, Rita Wong, Fred Wah, Nick Conbere, John Holmgren, Genevieve Robertson, Emmy Willis, Zoe Kostuchuk.
