Venice, La Serenissima, where I lived and worked and fell in love with a city and a man (who became my husband!) We honeymooned there when the waters were high and the warning sirens sent us back to our villa. Climate change is intensifying Aqua Alta – high waters - causing more frequent and severe flooding. Rising sea levels threaten the city’s historic charm, but innovative projects like MOSE, a system of movable barriers, offer hope. These defences, (as well as limiting tourism), combined with global climate efforts, aim to protect Venice’s beauty and mystique for future generations
Please note, this artwork is currently on exhibition at Belconnen Arts Centre and will not be available for pick-up or delivery until the exhibition has closed. Please check the Belco Arts website for exhibition dates.
