FRESH WATER, SALT WATER
Artist Residency
September 18 to 30, 2023
Reriz and Vila Nova (Castro Daire)
Rincón de Paiva (Cerro Largo, Uruguay)

With Vittoria Assembri, Luís Costa and Ana Rodríguez

A co-production of Binaural Nodar with the Municipality of Castro Daire, in partnership with Amaneï Salina, Mapa sonoro de Uruguay and the Union of Parishes of Reriz and Gafanhão.

The first three days of the “Água Doce, Água Salgada” artistic residency took place, with fieldwork carried out in two villages located on both banks of the River Paiva, Reriz and Vila Nova. From September 21, fieldwork will begin in the northern Uruguayan town with a very familiar place name: Rincón de Paiva.

What is the “soul of the place” of each village bathed by a river and/or a stream? How does the presence of water influence the worldview of its inhabitants? What is specific about living on this or that bank of a river? How has the relationship between places and water and its uses changed over the decades? These are some of the general questions addressed through the artistic fieldwork of Vittoria Assembri, Luís Costa and Ana Rodríguez.

This artistic residency will run until September 30 and between October 8 and 20 the second artistic residency of this cycle “Fresh Water, Salt Water” will be held in Santa Marina di Salina (Aeolian Islands, Italy), with the participation of Elettra Bottazzi, Luís Costa and Ana Rodríguez.

Binaural Nodar is a cultural organization supported by the Portuguese Government – Culture | Directorate-General for the Arts.
