  • Nanibah Chacon Currents

    UTPB
    Humanities

    Exhibition by Nanibah Chacon, CURRENTS, showcases a body of work made around the study of water as abstract drawings and string installations.The work began with questioning the personal investment in water conservation movements and politics.
