These connections sought to reveal strategies of resistance against industrial-colonial systems, uncover polyphonic histories sedimented around the shoreline, and open up relations between the human and more-than-human. To extend this artistic thinking and expand notions of relationality, in 2022, the second edition, titled \u003ci\u003eWhat Water Knows, The Land Remembers\u003c\/i\u003e, moved inland to follow tributaries and ravines, both above ground and hidden, that shape this place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWater, Kinship, Belief\u003c\/i\u003e is a “third” site, a place where the continuities, resonances, and dissonances between Biennial editions are extended.
