MAKING WAVES - The Power of Water

 

Always moving in the rhythm of the moon. Overlooked as single drop. Respected like a powerful ocean. Experienced as clouds and rivers, cycling around the world. Making our climate, ever changing, and forever different. Humanity is influenced and influences. Even within our bodies, water is deeply embedded in our cells as a source of energy.

 

Originated from the universe, billions of years ago. Composed as all living life forms. Believed to be sacred in traditions and rituals. Associated with the divine renewal, birth, cleansing and healing.

 

Fresh and playful - origin and source of joy and love. Feminine and powerful flowing, a joyful culture we all enjoy together. Poetically spoken, organically grown, emotional and intuitive perceived, full of desire and ecstasy, sharing love for water in every phase of life.

 

Access to water is a driving force. Bringing great advantage and even greater responsibility. With indirection of power and inequalities it can be source of fortune and desaster. United with awareness, we collectively accept this challenge and we invite you with your creativity and artistic spirit to contribute to maintain our livelihood and enable all living beings to access water.

 

Let's celebrate the water. Let's share the power of water and heal nature with it. Learning to see and reflect the varieties of colours, understanding the sound, experience the taste and smells, speaking up with subtlety for life with water. Take part in the world's greatest social engaged arts festival. In a collective movement. Together we can make waves for our vision ART CREATES WATER.

We appreciate applications by people of all color, gender and cultural backgrounds.
