AIGUA

Aigua is a project that blends art and science within classroom settings.

The collaboration between Sismògraf and the Centre for Territorial Sustainability brings this artistic endeavour to life. Science and art converge with a common goal: to reflect on water, delve into our relationship with it and explore new connections with nature.
Over the course of ten sessions, a scientist and a dancer will engage with a group of young people. Drawing from the interests, motivations and experiences of these young people, a multidisciplinary performance will take shape, with dance as its focal point and water as both its driving force and inspiration.

Mireia Jiménez works as a hydrogeologist, focusing on the study of groundwater.

She dedicates her efforts to sustainable water management and crafting strategies for the revitalization of river ecosystems.
