Help prevent a drop of water from drying!

We are immensely grateful for you standing by us, and our hearts beat faster as we experienced your support. You made it real for us! Your unwavering trust has made it possible for us to rent a venue for the exhibition, cover production and logistics expenses, and support five artists.

We are not wrapping up the campaign, and every single penny from now on will be donated to the artists whose artworks you will be able to appreciate at the exhibition. It will take place from 18 to 21 February at 49 rue Ramey, Paris 75018.

Every act of support gives our contemporary art exhibition its pulse. Created by student curators and artists in Paris, this independent exhibition responds to an increasingly individualistic and turbulent world by embracing Buddhist principles.

“How to Prevent a Drop of Water from Drying?” is an exhibition rooted in the Buddhist wisdom of the Bardo from ‘The Tibetan Book of the Dead’ — a state of suspension between death and rebirth. Many of us pass through Bardo in life: when moving to a new country, losing someone we love, growing older, or through travel and meditation. These are moments when we feel out of sync with ourselves, when everything feels profoundly unknown and uncertain. We do not embrace these states all at once; they unfold gradually through acceptance and growth.

The teachings of the Bardo urge us to embrace something greater rather than cling to individuality. As a drop of water is thrown into the sea, it loses its separateness, while continues to exist in another form. In the same way, the exhibition asks: How can we navigate change with more acceptance? How can we find meaning and direction when change is inevitable? How can we live well together keeping our individuality?

We are a team of international students in Paris who are themselves passing through Bardo—between places, identities, and futures. The concept grows directly from our lived experience of transition and your support helps it transform into a public art exhibition in 18th district of Paris, due to take place from 18 to 21 February 2026.
