Abstract
Brackish water is chemically between fresh and saline and may come from mixing of fresh water with seawater where rivers flow into the ocean, from aquifers, or created by human activity. It’s intermediate and dynamic and is associated with some of the world’s most critical ecosystems like estuaries and mangroves. It can be hostile, but on the other hand, the flora and fauna that thrive in brackish water are adapted and versatile. BRACKISH asks, what invitations might the liminal brackish space extend to scholars, creatives, and community members who operate in interdisciplinary spaces? How can this unique coming together inspire us to engage with water through transdisciplinary research and creative practices? Each piece is a unique expression of interactions or relationships with water, but BRACKISH only exists when the individual works come together to share space in the galleries. Your engagement with the visuals, renderings, textures, sounds, and stories is the final element that brings BRACKISH to life and connects us all through the necessity of water. BRACKISH includes representation from the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Science, and the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, and features: ○ Eliza Housman ○ Karly Ross ○ Kulsum Fatima ○ Megan Leung ○ Traci Berg ○ Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike ○ Veronica Briseño Castrejon in collaboration with Haizel de la Cruz, Veronica Hoil Briseño, Pedro Uc Be, Josue Hoil Briseño, Azael Hoil Briseño, and the organizations: Suumil Móokt’aan with Valiana Aguilar and Angel Ku, Colectivo de comunidades Mayas de Hopelchen Campeche (Collective of Maya communities from Hopelchen Campeche), and Muuch Kaambal ○ April Neuhaus ○ Xue Yan Chan We are grateful to be able to host BRACKISH on the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 peoples and the home of Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 and 6. Connections with the landscapes that sustain, challenge, and inspire us flow through the works featured in BRACKISH. The projects that make up BRACKISH share diverse perspectives of water, creating space to think about how our encounters with water are shaped by our intersectional identities. We encourage you to consider your relationship to the natural world and offer gratitude to the Indigenous peoples who have tended to these spaces and places since time immemorial.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
