singing fish

By the shore of the Guadalquivir River that runs through the hear of Cordoba, we invited visitors of “Meandering”, the show at C3A , to be apart of a guided meditative drawing exercise in an area where the Guadalquivir once flooded the land with life. Now it’s an area full of trees as the river slowly became more and more narrow over the years.

“Focus your attention on the singing fish, they once swam here and now have become birds” In this morning meditation session, Eduardo Navarro invites us to visualise a river moving between the fingers of land, as if it were a loop of contemplation beads, while softening our senses into becoming oceanic. Through participatory drawing, deep listening exercises, and a communal breakfast, Navarro proposes a journey inward to reflect on how rivers flow in and out of the ocean as well as through us, bringing awareness to the reciprocal interplay between river, land, and ocean.
