“Seeking the Source” Included in Waterlines Exhibition at Somerville Museum

Curated by Community Curator, Arlinda Shtuni, Waterlines explores Somerville’s origins, urban expansion, and ever-changing ecology through stories about water.

Seeking the Source is a project by the artist Hey There Kapplow, commissioned for the exhibition Waterlines at the Somerville Museum, in Somerville MA (USA) from December 2022 - March 2023.  There will be an opening event on the evening of December 15th, from 6-8pm.

Seeking the Source is a collection of ‘objects with soundtracks,’ which evolved out of an interest in the contemporary coexistence of the folk-practice of dowsing (water divining) alongside more modern methods of detecting and assessing the presence of water underground.
