Join us for Ideas Mosaic: Currents of Change to explore water access, equity, and infrastructure through the lenses of history, culture, and community — reframing these challenges not simply as technical or policy issues, but as matters of justice shaped by power, lived experience, and creative practice. The conversation will highlight how artistic, cultural, and infrastructure interventions can support communities to adapt and flourish.

Featuring a performance by Stanford U.S. Cultural Policy Fellow Benny Starr, a presentation by civil engineering professor Khalid Osman, and a conversation moderated by IAJS Founding Faculty Co-Director Brian Lowery, followed by a reception.
