About the project

Um of Water is an invitation to sit, listen, and be with Water.

Museum of Water began in the UK as a collection of public offerings of personal connections to water, intended to deepen our relationships with water. In this new collaboration, a purpose-formed Indigenous artist collective comprised of Elwood Jimmy, Leslie McCue, and Sara Roque reimagines this project with UK artist Amy Sharrocks as Museum of Water.

Um of Water responds to and evolves with the Indigenous context of the land we are on, and the Water we live with and rely upon for our collective survival.

The work begins with a series of conversations and invitations – to recalibrate our relationship to Water, to move towards collectively centering Water instead of the human, and to strengthen our capacities in support of Water, water access, and precious water knowledges.
