PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Having worked with the water element for almost 2 decades, we have become more and more aware of the geopolitical and climatic problems related to water; scarcity, privatisation, the refugee crisis, pollution, health, injustice, why we feel that there is an urgent need to focus on the world's water. We believe that we cannot do it by rational thinking alone. We believe that it is fundamental to sense and experience a different relationship with water. If we must take care of something, we need a strong connection, respect and love forit.

We therefore want to break new ground and create an EU funded project, where we use art and science to deal with these politically charged topics in ways that go far beyond what we can immediately experience with the intellect. Project Outline: We want to create an artistic water caravan with a specific focus on interconnectedness between water and peace. Our idea is to take up residence in different parts of Europe to work and engage with local scientists, communities, artists, entities, civil society organizations, NGOs, festivals, venues and other relevant stakeholders for an extended period. Here we will work closely to design a program in which we present our collective water-related projects and curate gatherings, meetings, exhibitions, performances, seminars, talks and workshops.

ARTISTIC PARTNERS: Artists who have dedicated their artistic research and practice to water, with their own take on water, who are willing to create a caravan and tour through the project countries, reaching out to and engaging with local communities.

KNOWLEDGE PARTNERS: Research institutions, universities, NGOs etc. who have an interest in gathering knowledge about the following topics: Water scarcity, pollution, climate, sacred & symbolic water,
privatisation of water, water conflicts, peace, the refugee crisis - and who sees things as interconnected and who can convey this to a wide audience, and who can think creatively about how their knowledge can contribute to the caravan.

SUSTAINABLE TOURING PARTNERS: We are looking for people experienced with sustainable touring, who are willing to jointhe project to make the caravan sustainable, and to share best practices of sustainable touring with Creative Europe and other European stakeholders
