Walking through the exhibition Forgive Us Our Trespasses / Vergib uns unsere Schuld, with a particular focus on artworks that evoke an oceanic, aqueous, or fluid sensibility in Mrinalini Mukherjee Hall, this mobile conversation navigates the different meanings, memories, and imaginations that water carries—politically, spiritually, and aesthetically. Together with artists Esvin Alarcón Lam, Babá Murah, Tanja Ostojić, and Sim Chi Yin, Water Floats, Water Flows invites the audience to push against the current of the invisible boundaries that shape everyday social spaces, resisting and trespassing normativity. The conversation closes with Babá Murah’s Camdonblé song and story-telling around his altar, summoning the Orixá of sea and motherhood, Yamanja.
