Water Connects is a multi-sensory installation by Projector Club, part of the CTRL+ART+DREAM series. Though many collaborators are involved, it remains a Projector Club-led initiative. The experience blends poetry, projection, and water to explore the metaphor of water’s memory—carrying stories, loss, and renewal. Visitors enter a shifting waterscape where Joanna Streetly’s recorded poems and scrying sessions with Tofino water animate the studio walls. The result is an immersive environment that feels like a canoe of sound and light, inviting collective reflection and connection.
