Women Mind the Water
Wo(men) Mind the Water is an Artivist Series—conversations with artists, storytellers, and scientists whose work is inspired by the ocean and our shared waters. From sculpture and underwater dance to film, music, and plastic-waste art, guests from every continent—including Antarctica—reveal how water shapes creativity, community, and conservation. With nearly 100 interviews, we explore coral reefs, sustainable fisheries, Indigenous water knowledge, climate impacts, marine plastics, and the healing power of water. Watch full conversations here, then visit womenmindthewater.com for audio-only episodes, transcripts, and resources. Dive in, get inspired, and take action to protect the ocean.
