As part of the Léman être vivant exhibition, Hydromondes is offering a guided tour of the exhibition followed by a portrait creation activity «the self and Lake Geneva.
Based on the elements presented in the exhibition, and more specifically the drawings of the 7 faces, you are invited to imagine a self-portrait that blends yourself and Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva is part of our lives and our memories, and its water is present within our bodies. This workshop is an opportunity to combine memory with an acknowledgment of the lake's importance in our lives, as a space for leisure, but also as drinking water, a daily necessity and a landscape. Your portrait will be a collage testifying to your intimate relationship with the lake.
Hydromondes presentation:
At the crossroads of the arts, sciences and resistance movements, the Hydromondes collective conducts bioregional investigations into water (its uses, infrastructures and imaginaries) – always in connection with local areas and their inhabitants. We come from diverse backgrounds: architecture, theatre, hydrology, popular education, landscape design, biology, music, ethnography, engineering sciences... By pooling our expertise and visions, we create ecologically and socially just representations of our living environments.
