Revolutionary River: Quenching Philadelphia's Thirst
Revolutionary River examined how Philadelphia’s thirst for development is often at odds with residents’ need for clean water, requiring revolutionary thinking to protect its source—the Schuylkill River.


The exhibition highlighted the river’s role as a resource while advocating for the adoption of green infrastructure to keep it clean.


Dramatic lighting and a projected water feature set the tone, while digital and mechanical interactives offered visitors a variety of ways to engage.
