Local people together with costume and performer duo VARIALAMBO push a giant ship which is said to carry healing water coming from an underwater revolution taking place on the other side of the world.  Facing acidification of the oceans, rising sea levels, dying coral reefs and polluted groundwater, a mysterious group of people have started diving. They have discovered lost memory that could help us all prevent mistakes we have made with our planet. People participating in this event celebration drink and share its healing water as the procession goes on. This is done as an act of seeing and understanding your own interconnected body: water is transnational, trans-species and trans-corporeal. \n\nThe ship is built from garbage, nylonstrapes pelagic fishnets, and elaborate seaweed sculptures, in collaboration with Julia Lohmann, Professor of Practice in Contemporary Design at Aalto University Helsinki.  Haunting music will accompany the procession, composed \"live\" on hardware by composer Valentin Kimstedt.  People taking part of the procession will be also be invited to carry firecrackers and gongs. \n\nIn the form of a social fantasy, a demanding endurance ritualistic performance and a bricolaged materiality, this carnivalesque procession poses earnest questions about climate, interconnectedness, and wants to gives rise to a new kind of ethical obligation.","space":"The procession goes through several locations in the streets of Buenos Aires and lasts from 5-11pm, attendance is free. \n\nThe ship range in size could be from 5 meters to over ten meters in length.\n\nThe ship is made of  are made of a quantity of different supplies: nylon, seaweed, garbage from the sea.\n\nThe ship don\u2019t actually end up in the water as that would not be practical or ecological.\n\nThe ship remains in the bienal as a sculpture and witness of the procession ceremony.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[{"names":"can","surname":"pestanli","email":"lambovaria@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"C4TX2TZLV","address":"Sipoonkatu 2","city":"Helsinki","nacionality":"German","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1980-12-30T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1980-12-30T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00491772470885","web":"https:\/\/varialambo.com"}],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"varia","surname":"sj\u00f6str\u00f6m","email":"lambovaria@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"PF0871354","address":"Sipoonkatu 2","city":"Helsinki","nacionality":"Finnish","country_id":"74","birthdate":"1980-12-29T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1980-12-29T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00491772470885","web":"https:\/\/varialambo.com"}
