Flow: A Community’s Relationship to Water is an examination of the ongoing globalwater crisis, its connection to women and the impact on communities in Los Angeles. Flow features the work of four teenage girls who combine photography, storytelling, and GIS mapping in an experimental media exhibition to illuminate the crosshatches of indigenous water practices, water policy and nature in Los Angeles.

Flow is created in partnership with the national collaborative project, Water is a Women’s Issue, spearheaded by Lower Eastside Girls Club in New York. The project connects Las Fotos Project with sister organizations in Montana (VOICES from the Flathead Reservation), New York City (The Lower Eastside Girls Club), Mexico (Club Balam in Chiapas), and New Orleans (YAYA) to examine how water impacts women in our home communities and the potential strategies to protect them both.

Flow: A Community’s Relationship to Water culminates with the opening of youth photography & multimedia exhibit at Las Fotos Project on March 16, 2019 followed by a youth delegation to New York’s environmental summit and celebration of Forest Day and World Water Day in late March 2019.
