Water Revelation open up to capture the sound vibrations of human voices. Voices carrying stories and messages to be whispered and chanted to the waters. A map tracing layers of lived experience, symbols and sacred beings emerging from nature’s landscapes. Venuz White’s contemporary ritualistic hydrosonic immersive experience sheds light on the laws of nature on a scientific and metaphysical level. Her pieces evoke an elevation of human condition interwoven with the natural elements, playing harmoniously with the rhythms, texture and colours that make up our Planet Earth.

"Pataxó is rain water hitting the earth and the rocks and disappearing into the river and the sea."  (Kanátyo Pataxó, Txopai e Itôhâ, 1997). The Pataxó reinvented their language, The Patxohã   -The language of the Pataxó Warrior

“The singing voices of Hannah, Simony and Ivani from the Pataxó community in Porto do Boi, Bahia, singing to the spirit of the  Caraíva River.

“Venuz works with the vibrational qualities of sound. She receives a recording of their chants, and leaves these sounds playing on repeat next to the pure water Venuz collects from paramo rain. She then uses this water, carrying the intention and vibration of their “warrior” voices, to mix the pigments with which she creates this Water Revelation. From her hand motions she brings the subtle landscape into a totemic water guardian”.

“I am the ocean in full moon”  childhood memory in Cyprus.

The voice of Fotoula Adrimi an intuitive healing practitioner from Cyprus and Scotland trained in holistic healing, shamanic wisdom, author and teacher combining her extensive therapeutic experience and the latest theories of modern psychotherapy with ancient esoteric knowledge.

Water is perhaps the most important element in Celtic mysticism. From it, life emerges.

The ancients Celts honored springs and wells through spiritual practices, they gravitated to water, used water imagery in their tales and treated water as sacred. While earth was like wise revered, water seems to have been understood as the vital spirit of earth.

Chile

“I sing to connect to NGEN KO” Glacial water memory.

Paula Tassara, Pau Deplanet Is a geographer, singer-songwriter and artivist for climate, from Chile. “A Song of spiritual-experimental intercultural connection, it felt like a single breath that flowed through three languages”.

“My singing begins in my practice of yoga-meditation-mantras. The intention of my singing is to connect with NGEN KO from MAIPO and NGEN KO from CONGUILLÍO, letting myself be permeated by Mapuche spirituality, respectfully, despite not having been born Mapuche. The NGEN (owner and protector spirits in the Mapuche cosmovision) of the waters (KO)”. I thank them through my song of "Mother Cordillera".

The future presents itself as the hidden messages in water, unfolding, connecting, giving and raisin awareness to the new generations to come.

ARGENTINA

“I sing to the guides of the rain” Childhood memory .

The voice of Maimará Argentinian singer. “From my happy childhood, looking for the sky to burst to drink water with my mouth open looking up, with my eyes closed, making a wish: Let it rain! Let it Rain! Because at 4 my dad told me that if I sang, it would rain. Then I sang to the rain, happy, innocent, a lover of spells to make rain! Let it rain!  Because if I sang, it rained, and if it rained, he looked for an umbrella, and with it I sang the song I had written to the rain”. “Thanks dad, for that afternoon when you taught me to use an umbrella. For all the times we drank rainwater. For listening to my song”.

MEXICO

“Spring water Prayers”

Ana Sofia Rosas from Mexico performs a ceremonial offering, an altar  to connect with the spirit of the spring water at dawn.  She sings  “temazcal” song “Pajaro de agua” and “Aguita de manantial” to celebrate the life given power of water.

Everything in the world exists through a kind of vibration and everything that vibrates in the world influences something else.  Music and words are vibration. Water can record information, activating our memory.
