When the government condemned the tribe’s houseboat homes and adjoining ancestral lands, she supported their peaceful protests with a letter-writing campaign. In 2000, Fredericka began exhibiting paintings of water in NYC. Invited to curate a six-month exhibition at the Garrison Institute above the Hudson River as part of the ‘Pathways for Planetary Health’ initiative, she chose the theme of rivers. Ten international artists from her collective Think About Water, collaborated to underscore the threats faced by our freshwater ecosystems, and to ignite transformative conversations about the managing water for our common good.
