Workshop "At the mouth of the Guadalhorce River" by Margarida Mendes

Highlighting the important role of wetlands as spaces for filtering and renewing ecosystems, this walk awakens states of attention to the elements that reside in the marsh, aiming to understand their contribution to the important balance of this coastal ecology, which influences climatic equilibrium.

We'll connect to the marsh to reflect on the broader context of the metabolic and logistical relationships that develop there, and as we walk, we'll map the different curatorial relationships of these spaces and reflect on the relationship between modes of existence through time. 

This walk is also an opportunity to reflect on the relationships between communities, materials and distribution flows that have been established across the marsh, as knowledge about wetlands in the Mediterranean watershed will be shared, in a confluence of perspectives between science, activism and environmental justice.
