Ep. 269 New perceptions of Water with Maxi Cohen & Gina Bria | DSS Series

Maxi Cohen and Gina Bria are collaborating artists with the Design Science Studio combining filmmaking and anthropology to provide new perceptions of water and raise our reverence.  

Gina Bria, an anthropologist and author, discovered hydration solutions to modern water challenges while researching desert dwellers. Her first project was to support her elderly mother who was suffering from dehydration in a nursing home. Surprised these natural strategies, confirmed by recent science breakthroughs, were not more widespread, she convened the first TEDx event Bodies of Water, creating 4 TEDxtalks, as well as the Hydration Foundation to spread information on structured water.  

Maxi Cohen is an artist, author, and independent film, video, and television director-producer. Her artwork is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Israeli Museum in Tel Aviv.
