ARTWATERENESS 2014 / CAMBODIA

22 Jan

Together with UNESCO Cambodia, two local WASH NGOs, RACHA and 1001 TEUK SAAT, and a non-profit artists group dedicated to experimental art practices, SASA ARTS PROJECT, we join culture and science, bringing together knowledge, awareness and art.

Through Waters team rides their bicycles to take a movable adaptation of TW Photo Exhibition touring across the communities generating awareness about water. The activity enables cultural exchange: on one hand, we give people the chance to get in touch with new artistic expressions, on the other, we encourage them to reflect about their personal stories about water, generating and sharing their own creations by means of workshops. This four months cross-cultural adventure is broadcasted in a real time multimedia experience.

For several years she has deepened her interest on water, studying the impact of climate change and local policies on the use of water resources.

Valuing water culturally and through art, realizing workshops with children and students, means for her creating awareness and sensitivity, with the goal to protect this fundamental element that gives life.

She wants to develop a new way of dialogue and integration through art building consciousness of the beauty of difference and of human beings worldwide.
