This weekend, Bianco’s idea — which was handed off to Amelia Kahl, coordinator of academic programming at the Hood, in the early stages — will come to fruition in “Water Ways: Tension and Flow,” a new exhibit at the museum that explores the relationship between water and human civilization and includes more than 20 works from around the globe. The exhibit, which primarily features 20th- and 21st-century photographs, also includes a video recording of the meditative, continuous surf off of the coast of Massachusetts and one object, a water jar with symbolic rain clouds from the Native American community of Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. As expected from its title, the exhibition touches on a number of water-related themes, including the overuse of water sources, the destructive properties of flooding and the fishing industry.

Jordana Composto ’16 rushed into her audition, slightly late. She was suffering from a bout of laryngitis, and as she heard the voices of her competitors, she grew even more nervous.
