mare-a-ndo

mare-a-ndo arises from an instance of language play that facilitates the animation of the movement of water through a verbal conjugation, asserting the inherent trait of continuity and periodicity of both the natural phenomenon and the word itself. 

mare-a-ndo is a durational curatorial project that moves within the virtual space and unfolds in a variety of site-specific iterations, exhibiting exercises, artist commissions, and public programs. Organized by Ruta del Castor in collaboration with artists, curators, researchers, students, communities and institutions. 

mare-a-ndo gathers thought and artistic representation efforts around our relationship with water. Water defies the heteronormative and binary comprehension of sexed biologies, witnessing the fact that bodies are constituted in symbiosis with the environment through processes, relations, adaptations and metabolisms. Our starting point is the urgency of regenerating our agreement with water, acknowledging it as an indissoluble organism between communities and territories.
