The proposal for Bienal Sur 2021 consists of the establishment of coral gardens in southern coastal areas in Chile and Argentina that have been eroded due to salmon farming or fracking. The project will encompass workshops on how to grow marine coral gardens using rope and Biorock (marine grade cement) and will manifest materially through underwater (biorock) sculptures, video and photography. The project is a continuation of work that is inspired by and empathic towards the anthropogenic state of the oceans, and ongoing investigations into extinction and modes of survival, both ecological and cultural. An essential aspect of the proposal derives from working closely and collaborating with indigenous communities that have been adversely affected by private interests, in the hopes of creating space for alternative voices, perspectives and stories. Challenging normative narratives reinforcing systems of power deepen our understanding and knowledge of those things through affect and empathy. In The Social Life of Things, Alfred Gell states “Magic as an accompaniment to uncertainty does not mean that it is opposed to knowledge. That where there is no knowledge there is uncertainty and hence no magic. On the contrary, what is uncertain is not the world but what we know about it.” Perhaps it is in this uncertainty of the unknown that possibilities for more empathetic ways of being in the world can exist
