The School of Mountains and Waters

The School of Mountains and Waters, Amanda Piña

The School of Mountains and waters invites us to unlearn the modern colonial idea of the human being as a separate entity from what sustains life, in order to rediscover caring connections between human bodies and those of mountains, glaciers, and waters. The School of Mountains and Waters is a project conceived by Amanda Piña, together with Juan José Katira Ramírez, Michel Jimenez, Sofía Cardona Parra and Rocío Marano, which intertwines indigenous practices, scientific research and performance to recompose relations: between human bodies and bodies of mountains and water, between ancient knowledge and future imaginaries.

Agua es Futuro

A video work opening new visions of water and land.

Visitable during museum opening hours from September 3.

Performative practices

The museum spaces are transformed into places of listening, crossed by the performative practices of artists from the collective led by Amanda Piña.

Wednesday 3, Thursday 4 and Friday 5 September from 2 to 4 pm. Access guaranteed with the museum entrance ticket.

Mountain Talks

An artistic training camp for climate adaptation that focuses on new forms of political imagination about our bodies and our relations with the living earth.

The Mountain talks are structured as a series of encounters with artists, activists, researchers, and people interested in transdisciplinary dialogue between different forms of knowledge regarding the coming impact of climate change in the region, brought together thanks to an open call expiring on August 3.

The encounters begin on September 2 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm with an introductory meeting and continues at the same times on Wednesday 3, Thursday 4, and Friday 5 September. A public restitution of the shared work is scheduled for Sunday 7 September at 11:00 am.
