Join artist R. Stein Wexler for an artist talk on Living Waters, an immersive installation that reflects on the unifying and essential role of water in human life. The installation sits within an emergency shelter that includes 7 jerricans of water gathered along the Cape Fear River watershed, a video installation of the surface of that body of water, and an audio collage composed of recorded water rituals and the sounds of water.
Begin with a guided tour at 1 PM led by the artist, registration required.
After, Wexler will discuss her work and process in a moderated conversation at 2 PM with Gene Felice, artist and Assistant Professor of Digital Art at UNCW.
Join us for the tour, the artist talk, or both. Links below to register.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
R Stein Wexler (she/her) is a public- and installation-artist trained as an urban planner. Her projects are research-based, community-engaged, and critical of dominant structures. She creates place-based work in collaboration with local communities to tell (hi)stories. Shaped by empathy, deep listening, and authentic connection, her work results in gatherings, process documentation, immersive and interactive installations, workshops, exhibitions, and policy change. Her work often offers numerous points of entry, be it through sensory experiences, information-sharing, participation in the creation process, or community- and connection-building.
ABOUT THE MODERATOR:
Gene A. Felice II, Assistant Professor in Digital Art at UNCW, bridges his creative practice across art, science, education and design, developing a sustainable network of innovation, living systems, and emerging technologies. His hybrid practice grows at the intersection of nature and technology, developing coactive systems as arts science research. Throughout his creative process, emerging technologies such as 3D printing, laser cutting & CNC milling hybridize with older methods such as wood fabrication, lost wax bronze casting, ceramics, glass casting and more. While keeping site specific histories in mind, he achieves confluence by merging these varied passions into a system of creative collaboration.
