#226: Artistic Expressions Of Jackson’s Water Woes

  • Resumen

  • Jackson, Mississippi, has long struggled with inadequate water infrastructure, highlighted by a major treatment plant failure in 2022 that left 160,000 residents without safe drinking water.

    Lexus Giles, an artist from Jackson, reflects on these challenges through her work "Wading the Woes of Jackson Water."

    The exhibit features pieces that represent the struggles and adaptations of Jackson's residents in accessing clean water.

    In an interview conducted at the first-ever gathering of the U.S. WASH sector in Washington, D.C., Lexus discusses the habits her family developed to cope with the unreliable water supply, such as carrying plastic water bottles and adding bleach to bathwater.

    She explains how these personal experiences and the resilience of her community have influenced her art.
