Exhibition "Passage to Water" Makerere Art Gallery


On Thursday the 1st of April we will open up an exhibition that will take place at the Makerere Art Gallery.
The exhibition will start with a presentation about Smart textiles and our project and then lead into an interactive workshop.
Since the flow of water is elementary for our project the aim for the exhibition is to involve the community, in this case the art students, to collaboratively build a sculpture wich will lead the water from one point to another. This refers back to our solar water system and the community involvement. The aim for the exhibition is to show how science is leading to art.
