Lightning Talks: Mekong Voices
How do rivers speak? Join us in the galleries for a series of 10-minute lightning talks by graduate students researching the Mekong River. Set within the exhibition Mekong Voices: Transnational River Justice in Mainland Southeast Asia, these research snapshots amplify the river’s many voices—human and non-human—facing the pressures of damming, development, and climate change. This isn’t your typical poster session! See how art, scholarship, and environmental justice converge to tell the river’s stories.
