“H20 Today” Exhibition at Sci-Bono
H2O Today explores the beauty and essential nature of water, the planet’s
lifeblood. The exhibit is on display at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre until
April 2020.
The exhibition, organised by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition
Service (SITES), examines the diversity and challenges of water
sources worldwide and promotes conversation, creativity and innovation
through art, science and technology.
H2O Today is part of the Smithsonian’s
#ThinkWater Initiative
to raise awareness of water as a
critical resource for life. Using
immersive content, interactive
activities, and digital media, this
international exhibition – supplemented
with Iziko curated African content and collections objects – brings
a global conversation at a critical time within the Southern African regional
context.
H2O Today dives into what it means to live on a planet where 71 percent
of the surface is covered in
water, of which less than
3 percent is drinkable. The
exhibition highlights water’s
criticality in daily life worldwide
through waterpower,
industry, agriculture and
home use.
