Get ready to dive into the immersive world of Bardo at šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square! 💧 

This interactive installation beautifully intertwines the Earth’s water cycle with our own human life cycles. Participants will transform from rain 🌦️ into a powerful river 🌊, and eventually return as mist ☁️, reflecting on our connection to nature. Led by the visionary duo John Desnoyers-Stewart and Pravin Pillay, MOVE37XR Collective invites you to explore the profound relationships we share with the environment.
