\u201cWaterlines: Stories of Urban Ebb and Flow\u201d<\/a> at the Somerville Museum from Dec. 15, 2022, to March 22, 2023, asks us to meditate on water and what it means to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs human beings, we are powerfully drawn to water,\u201d curator Arlinda Shtuni writes. \u201cEvery important passage of our lives is touched by water. However, as urban dwellers, we often have an abstract connection to it, as invisible infrastructures and complex systems of water lines bring it to us. How has our need for water shaped the city over time? And as our cities densify and water cycles change, how can we envision the future? How will we navigate droughts and floods, learn to adapt to our changing environment, and move in new ways?\u201d<\/p>\n
