The Current We Share is the name of Vivienne’s advisory board.

The board has grown gradually since 2021, through Vivienne’s intention to involve experts in her inquiries and thought process, ensuring that the work is accurate and well-informed. Most importantly, the goal has been to elevate the level of discussion and cultivate a shared sense of responsibility.

It speaks to the flow that moves between us — like energy and like the present moment itself. Many voices move together here: expertise exchanged, ideas unfolding, insights guiding. We meet in reciprocity, tending to what is fragile, urgent, and possible.

This board accompanies Vivienne’s work in environmental art and storytelling, helping to hold direction and widen perspective. This constellation of advisors brings invaluable clarity, informing Vivienne’s vision toward sustainability and the responsible care of our planet through her art practice. Visualising science through art becomes a way to encourage engagement, to spark the imagination of positive futures.

Vivienne receives knowledge and advice directly from this community, gaining invaluable insights into the shifting rhythms of our planet.
