Water: The Womb of Life
Tue Jul 19 2022

A ritualistic performance, which aims to evoke a feeling of gratitude 
towards water bodies. 

This performance was developed by deep research into hydrofeminism, water witchcraft, ritual, and sound design.

Following a defined set of steps, the participants emerge in a ritual 
accompanied by a sonic spoken word, merging their bodies and minds with a 
water body. Afterward, they receive a water journal, which helps them reflect 
on their relationship with water as well as the aftermath of the ritual.
 
“Hydrofeminism is about solidarity across watery selves, across bodies of water. Today, we see acidification of the oceans, rising sea levels, dying coral reefs and polluted groundwater, to mention just a few examples. Hydrofeminism shows us that we are all involved in this through watery interactions and circulations. Water flows through bodies, species and materializes, connecting them for better or worse. Today, planetary thinking is feminist thinking.”
