A traveling art exhibit focusing on the urgent need for water preservation and protection across the state of Florida is now on display in Ocala.
The exhibit, Bodies of Water by Rebecca Pujals-Jones, is on display now through June 11, 2024 at the Clerk’s Office at Ocala City Hall (110 SE Watula Avenue).
Pujals-Jones utilizes ambrotype photography as a medium for her water activism in the exhibit. This type of photography is comprised of an underexposed glass negative placed against a dark background.
There is no cost to view the exhibit, and it is open to the public on Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Bodies of Water is a long-term project that is funded by the Puffin Foundation and community partnerships with Citrus County Historical Society, College of Central Florida, and Franklin Anderson Gallery of Arts.
The ambrotypes selected for display at Ocala City Hall highlight at-risk waterways throughout Central Florida, such as Crystal River, Chassahowitzka River, and Tsala Apopka Lakes.
