Water-Worlds: Ripple Effects or Sea Change?


  • Kinney Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies 650 East Pleasant Street Amherst, MA, 01002 United States (map)

The Shakespeare Unbound exhibit joins the Renaissance of the Earth Project to set Shakespeare in conversation with the Blue Humanities. "Water-Worlds" is a transhistorical exhibition exploring how representation of the element of water—in literature, visual art, poetry, science, and music—evolves by way of ripple effects and with more sudden sea change.
