Side event of the UN Conference on Water – 2023

The Maria Helena Andrés Institute organized this side event of the UN Conference on Water in 2023, to show the importance of artistic language as a tool to develop the creative potential and raise awareness about WATER. We present the work of visual artists, musicians, poets, historians, educators, architects, photographers, videomakers and ecologists.

In the first part, lasting 25 minutes, we group the contributions focused on the relationship between Water and Life. We take as examples the paintings of Maria Helena Andrés and Bax; the musical clip video Água by the group Voz & Poesia; the book Water Speaks of Maurício and Aparecida Andrés, illustrated by MHA; photographs of clouds, by Maurício Andrés; the songs about water and clouds by Artur Andrés; videos by Fabricio Fernandino (Aqua) and João Diniz (Waterfeel). We present actions carried out with children by Eliana and Maria Helena Andrés, who emphasize the importance of art as a tool to develop the creative potential of children, young people and adults.

In the second part, lasting 30 minutes, we present contributions related to the death and rebirth of rivers. It begins with Fabricio Fernandino's video about The river of Deaths. Hydroalienation is shown in attempts to kill urban rivers (hydrocide) through water pollution and urban interventions that buried them alive under the asphalt. The projects This street has a river (coordinated by Thereza Portes- Instituto Undió), and the work of Isabela Prado (Over/About the river: Between rivers and streets) show that rivers remain alive in memory and reappear in artistic interventions. This part ends with two contributions focused on the rebirth of urban rivers through hydro-awareness, such as those presented in the educational project Esse Rio é Meu by Silvana Gontijo, and in the book The Sanitation Epic, by Márcio Santa Rosa and Aspásia Camargo.
