Words on Water is a series of Room For Doubt programs, which brings together different artistic positions on Water, and its essential role in our lives now tinted with political, environmental, and economic readings. In the context of Vienna, the initial project of "Words on Water" has evolved into a rich and multi-layered tapestry of media. This constellation draws from diverse geographies and mindscapes, orbiting around concepts of borders, the politics of inclusion and exclusion, collective memory, and actionable change.

As the title suggests, it delves into diverse artistic expressions centered around water—an essential element of life. Water, simultaneously a vital means of transport and a natural divider, evokes a myriad of emotions and connotations. It can be synonymous with poetry, spirituality, and a source of healing, yet it can also take a deadly turn during natural disasters and human-made destruction. In an era where the global landscape is shifting from energy resource conflicts to escalating tensions over water, this exhibition seeks to shed light on the pivotal role water plays in our devastated environment.

Curated by Amirali Ghasemi, the founder of Berlin-based Room For Doubt, this exhibition should allow a profound reflection on our interconnectedness with water and our collective responsibility to engage with this invaluable resource by redefining this relationship in an increasingly fragile world.
