Water is Gold is a project by the artist Marna Sánchez in which the work becomes an agent of social change and awareness about the use of natural resources, in this case water. With the question: Is water the crystalline gold that will one day be worth more than black gold “oil,” blue gold “Coltan,” or gold itself? The aim is to spark a dialogue that fosters collective awareness of the responsibility to preserve water sources and to create new technologies that promote and increase their levels, not only for human consumption but also for other species.

The installation will be open to the public from March 2 to April 6, 2017, on the MAC's south terrace; and will be complemented by an action on March 22 during World Water Day.
