NOVAWATER*

​

​

Mission

​

NOVAWATER* develops artistic, educational and scientific initiatives dedicated to contemporary relationships with water. Through the experiential installations NOVA*DrinkingWaterFountain & Crystals, the foundation promotes encounters where drinking water becomes a moment of perception, connection and renewed awareness.

Its mission is to expand access to these installations, build a network of visionary partners, and support learning programs and public initiatives related to water valuation, culture and future ecologies.

​

​

Vision

​

Revaluing water as a vital and shared resource.

Water sustains every form of collective life. NOVAWATER*Foundation envisions a cultural and scientific revitalization of water — rethinking it not only as a physical resource, but also as a central element of social, ecological and cultural well-being.

The foundation aims to activate new circulations of value — symbolic, cultural, social and economic — that contribute to healthier individuals, communities and environments.

​

​

Structure

​

NOVAWATER*Foundation is organized into three interconnected pillars:

  1. Art & Cultural Diffusion
    Circulation of the installations NOVA*DrinkingWaterFountain & Crystals in exhibitions, institutions and public contexts.

  2. Community & Network — NOVAWATER*Net
    A network of individuals, researchers and institutions engaged with new perspectives on water, perception and contemporary culture.

  3. Education & Public Impact — NOVAWATER*Earth
    Development of learning programs and installation of NOVADrinkingWaterFountain & Crystals* in public and private environments, reaching diverse audiences.
