The English expression "To be in HOT WATER" means to be in trouble.
Currently, climate change, environmental decline, rights violations, volatile politics and conflict all suggest "HOT WATER".
Water is a fundamental element for all beings on Earth.
A symbol of life and a "common good" which should be available to all, water is quickly becoming a commodity to some, and often taken as hostage in conflicts to besiege and displace populations. 
Corporates, governments, and industries such as mining and tourism use it for their own short-term benefits, depriving people - especially Indigenous people and farmers - of their rights, causing pollution, threatening health and the environment, and compromising long-term water management.

How can art, science, design, and activism reinstate the social, cultural and environmental value of water? 
How can we share the responsibility of water in a positive way? 
How can we all preserve the right of access to water?
How can intergenerational knowledge-sharing get us out of "HOT WATER"‚ end conflict and find peace?
