JARDINES VOLADORES
Zepelin art installation and its staging.
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.

FESTiVAL

La iniciativa Las Mercedes combina la conservación ambiental, el arte y el empoderamiento comunitario para proteger el Bosque Seco Tropical, el río Magdalena y sus afluentes en el Magdalena Medio, así como zonas terrestres en la Sierra Nevada y La Guajira. Desde el año 2023, cada Día de la Tierra, 22 de abril, se celebra en Honda, Tolima, el festival anual *Sumerced Bosque y Agua*, organizado por y con el apoyo del Banco de la República. Este evento reúne a los actores del proyecto Las Mercedes, incluyendo el equipo de la Fundación, artistas, agricultores, comunidades indígenas y la población local, para intercambiar ideas y promover prácticas sostenibles. Centrado en el arte, el diálogo y la colaboración, el festival actúa como una plataforma vital para la preservación ecológica y cultural en estas importantes regiones.
