Everything in Flow!? – An exhibition about water, climate, and our future

At RW21 Bayreuth, the exhibition 'Everything in Flow!? Water in Crisis' unfolds a concentrated art experience between knowledge transfer and aesthetic experience: 14 large-format banners guide through the complex relationship between climate crisis and water management – thought globally, felt locally.

Curated Work Review: Of Springs, River Courses, and Tipping Points

The exhibition by the Petra Kelly Foundation organizes facts in a clear manner: A prologue to the climate crisis provides context, followed by image and text panels that illustrate how interventions in natural water reservoirs, rivers, and groundwater shift cycles. Diagrams, maps, and photographs condense the themes of water extremes, drought, heavy rainfall, river renaturation, and resource protection in a concise visuality.

Exhibition Atmosphere: Learning in the Flow of Space

In the gallery on the 1st floor, the calm spatial effect supports the examination of works. Light accents, clear typography, and the linearity of the hanging direct attention to colors, shapes, and the argumentative structure of the panels – a didactically precise setting between science communication and visual culture.

Art Historical Context: Information Design as Visual Practice

The exhibition connects to traditions of documentary image cultures and political graphics. It employs infographics strategies that have made societal issues readable since the 1920s – from Isotype to Contemporary Data Visualization. This creates cultural education that translates data into aesthetic experience.

Education in Dialogue: Supporting Program and Regional Cooperations

As part of the Water Month March in the Bayreuth region, additional formats connect film, urban society, and environmental education. The RW21 city library complements this with media offerings and barrier-free access – a public learning space that makes sustainability comprehensible as cultural practice.
