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.
We’d love to see you at this event! Register for free.
On view Sep. 14, 2025–Feb. 22, 2026, Mekong Voices: Transnational River Justice in Mainland Southeast Asia was born out of the Mekong Culture WELL project, an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and multilingual initiative at Michigan State University that foregrounds cultural dimensions of water, ecologies, land, and livelihoods across Mainland Southeast Asia.
