    Sourcing Water

    David & Dan form Common Views while working in the region of the eastern Negev desert town of Arad and the Bedouin settlements nearby. Their project focuses on the issue of water as a scarce resource to reflect on social-ecological concerns and the associated civic inequalities, in the context of a wider, global discussion on environment and sustainability.

About Common Views

Common Views are an international collective running site-specific, participatory arts projects worldwide, which address social-ecological concerns in contested settings.

The collective explores the possibility of Environmental Reconciliation, an original concept that touches on issues of social-ecological systems, the Commons, resource equity and civic equality, while focusing on the relationships of communities sharing a landscape, as a function of their relationship and connection to environment and place.
