Living With Water

The Way We See It: Living with Water brings together the voices of young people from Kalk Bay and the Mecklenburg Lake District-two regions shaped by water, heritage, and changing climates. 

Through photographs, short texts, and recorded stories, the exhibition offers a poetic, grounded look at life in a fishing community: its memories, its labour, and its hope for the future.
Created within the Lab for Photography, Climate Justice, and Cultural Heritage, the project invites youth to reflect on identity, power, and place across continents. Their work explores three themes: heritage, climate change, and working conditions on and beyond the boats-including the unseen care and reproductive labour that holds communities together.
