Water Matter(s) is a showcase celebrating a 9-week intensive investigation into water by artists with diverse abilities from Front Up studios in Seven Hills and Studio Artes in Hornsby. ​It is a provocation to collaborate between studios, organisations and artists and is informed by the collective spirit that rīvus is built on. 

Water Matter(s) foregrounds different voices and the stories by exploring the broad range of human experience and relationship with water​. The showcase of artworks, talks and research is artist-led and will respond to the process and the unfolding of the 9-week entanglement together.
