Water- a life source of this planet
Not just supporting life biologically but also affecting the socio-cultural ethos of civilizations, that evolved around water bodies of its lands.
Water Stories- Colaborative
This page is in progress and will open for public on first weekend of April.
The Collaborative events of Spring-Summer 2025 are part of Water project and C Designing Inquiry. We are grateful for these Collaborations and the many inspirations, we have come across while working on our projects.
As we humans evolved, so did our relation with Water, affecting the many aspects of our lives. Is it possible to interconnect all fields of life with a common string (stream) of Water and explore Well-being for All.
This is an experimental approach to interweave interdisciplinary, intercultural, intergenerational references around Waters through the Creative Collaborative works.
Sections below will be updated with event information (in brown box) as it comes. Stay tuned.
The photographs below are a tribute to local Waters from our friends and volunteers.

Boneyard Arts Festival: AACC Opening Reception 4/4
The Asian American Cultural Center is excited to host the Opening Reception for the Boneyard Arts Festival on April 4th from 3-5PM at 1210 W Nevada St.
Water – a life source of this planet – supports not only biological life but also affects the socio-cultural ethos of civilizations that evolved around water bodies. Cultures have therefore revered water through their rituals, folklores, and celebrations around waters of their lands. Boneyard Arts Festival is delighted to have a glance at the cultural aspects of Asian waters through this art exhibit – Waters of Asia.
