Carry Water

Dur­ing Cli­mate Week NYC 2026, Tai­wanese-Amer­i­can artist Chin-Chih Yang revis­its Car­ry Water, trans­form­ing the act of car­ry­ing water into a reflec­tion on cli­mate change, envi­ron­men­tal respon­si­bil­i­ty, and our most essen­tial resource. Begin­ning in the Tai­wanese Amer­i­can Arts Coun­cil (TAAC) house in Nolan Park, build­ing 17, Yang will car­ry and deliv­er water to arts orga­ni­za­tions through­out Nolan Park, respond­ing to a local real­i­ty: its his­toric hous­es have no run­ning water. Through car­ry­ing and shar­ing water, Yang trans­forms an every­day neces­si­ty into a ges­ture of con­nec­tion, com­mu­ni­ty, and envi­ron­men­tal awareness.

Par­tic­i­pat­ing artists include Ming­jer Kuo, Mike Lin, Julia Hsia, I‑Chin Sung, Yu Yu Demi Chen, Kyunglim Lee, and Chia-Wei Chang

Tai­wanese Amer­i­can Arts Coun­cil is one of the 2026 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
