Jane Withers
Jane Withers is a design consultant, curator and writer based in London. Alongside establishing her own design consultancy she has curated critically acclaimed exhibitions including ’1% Water and our Future’ at Z33, Belgium, and she is currently working on Wonderwater, a series of projects and events around water for World Design Capital Helsinki 2012. For Beijing Design Week she curated ‘How much water do you Eat?’.
How much water do you eat? That’s not a typo. Water is increasingly scarce and knowledge about how we should value and use it sustainably is almost as rare. Through books, writing, exhibitions and workshops, the Wonderwater project aims to surprise people about water’s role in their everyday lives.
