Agua: the art and cosmologies of water at Humboldt Forum

This ground-floor exhibition at Berlin's Humboldt Forum presents water as a source of knowledge and spirituality, as seen by Indigenous and traditional communities of South America.

Twenty works from Brazil, Colombia and Chile, made together with artists, curators and those communities, tie rivers, seas and rain cycles to colonial history, spiritual practice, technology and visions of the future. Environmental conflicts and the use of resources are part of the story.

Participants include Xadalu Tupã Jekupé, Keyla Palikur, Natália Tupi and Leonel Vásquez. Some areas use intense light, sound and multimedia effects.
