Rena Anakwe opens her 2019 residency with “The Cosmology of Water,” an immersive ritual that contemplates the pluralities that water holds as a molecular component of life, as a sacred space, and, at times, a site of destruction. Anakwe submerses attendees into a world of sound, scent, movement, lighting+projections.
