Ahmedabad: When about half the world’s population is believed to be living in potential water scarcity, a few concepts and practices of water conservation come handy for the state that boasts of water structures such as world heritage site of Rani ki Vav and practices such as water worship.
How should we connect with water and what are the ways we can act responsible towards the elixir of life?
These were some of the questions answered by ‘Water Varta,’ a multimedia exhibition organized by Living Waters Museum (LWM) at Ahmedabad University at Vechaar Utensil Museum at Vishalla.
The exhibition will continue on Sunday.
Sara Ahmed, founder of LWM, said that their idea was to make the exhibition lively especially for the younger audience.
“It is a collaborative effort with National Institute of Design and Vechaar where the utensils talk about themselves in panels and multimedia exhibition establishes connection between life, water and heritage,” she said.
Swarnika Nimje, a student of the National Institute of Design, has designed the exhibition around creative storytelling, short films, interactive media and music.
On Saturday, along with water-themed musical performances, Pradyumna Vyas, director of NID, and Abhay Mangaldas, convenor of INTACH Ahmedabad chapter, talked about aspects such as design for water and water heritage.
A film on the pots and utensils to store water was also screened on the occasion.
