About the workshop:

The Children of Water workshop (English) will be held on Aug 1st 2020 from 14-16:00. Winners can opt to participate offline or online. The physical workshop will be held in Berlin, Germany and selected online participants will receive a Zoom link.

The workshop will be held by Felipe Duarte, a mediator of indigenous knowledge. As a musician and cultural entrepreneur, he will share his knowledge with us. Originally from a westernized Colombia, Felipe has cultivated within himself, for the last 10 years, the teachings of his native Muisca, Quichwa and Arhuaco communities, which base their life in a Philosophy of Nature. His work is now dedicated to sharing this philosophy of life through music, workshops and gatherings reminding us that we are all part of nature. Felipe’s work is understanding and addressing our western society, so we all together redefine the new humanity we want to be. The idea is to work for a new balance resulting from a co-creation between the Global North (Eagle) and the Global South (Condor) civilizations.

Selection of winners:

From the qualified entries, we will randomly select five participants for the workshop. As soon as your entry meets the criteria defined above, you have a fair chance to be selected!

We’re looking forward to your creations!
