Water Ways — Everybody Colors

Water Ways is a series of pen and ink illustrations drawn by Bri Barton and Meg Lemieur telling the story of water and the effects that the natural gas industry has on the area commonly known as Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Each illustration consists of dozens of small vignettes that highlight people's struggles as they strive to protect the water and land on which we all survive.

In our interactive presentations, we discuss what fracking is, what Marcellus Shale is, how the politics in Pennsylvania have been built to support the industry, who is resisting and how, what systems in our culture support extractive and damaging industries like fracking, and an overview of what we are fighting for and why. We aim to connect attendees to local campaigns whenever possible.
