Activities

This is an art installation by ArtEmbassy and Facultad de Estudios Ambientales y Rurales as part of UrbanGreen, which is part of the Bogota Biennale BOG 25 in the main public square of the Universidad Javeriana. The 7-meter-high zeppelin filled with helium and hanging plants, a real garden of various types of Bromelia, tells of the distant relationship between humans and nature, their nature. In a positive and beautiful setting, visitors are moved and touched! The zeppelin is held by Gunza Villafaña, an Aruaca artist and filmmaker, in her white traditional dress, and the team.
The music composition was created especially by the young composer Johannes Strigl to accompany the ascending Jardines voladores. Many white flags dance from science students and the audience moves towards the zeppelin and gives it a blessing.
The singer David Cristancho sings powerfully and longingly about the jardines and perhaps also the women in them, drawing the many spectators into our joint work with their hearts.
