Amo El Río: The cultural movement "Habita el Río" arrives in Tarapoto
- Tarapoto will witness the cultural movement "Inhabits the River", the artistic exhibition organized by the Ministry of Culture, through the DDC San Martin, together with the collective Amo El Rio and WWF Peru, which brings together works by 26 local artists.
From April 22 at Parque Suchiche, citizens of Tarapoto can enjoy an outdoor art exhibition, with a combination of photographs, ceramics, paintings, poems, videos, among other expressions of 26 local artists, who seek to enhance the importance of rivers as an essential element in our lives, through the exhibition "Habita el Río".
The river is the habitat and starting point for the construction of the identity of Amazonian youth and their ancestors. It is the place where they can recover their knowledge and connect with the water and the land that surrounds them, according to WWF Peru's "Amo El Río" initiative.
In this edition, the creative direction will seek to generate conversation among the audience about the river, in all its immensity, from its problems and challenges, and under a look of coexistence between humans and the Amazon, under the curatorship of artists Sandro Granda and Pepe Atocha.
"An adequate cultural management allows to prevent, make visible and solve the problems of the environmental reality, where interculturality is conceived as a process of exchange, dialogue and learning that seeks to generate equitable relations between different ethnic-cultural groups that share a space around the recognition of their cultural particularities," said Daniela Freundt, leader of the Freshwater and Cities Program of WWF Peru.
"Amo El Río" addresses a crucial need for young people, to generate spaces for intervention in which they are creators of climate action messages and leaders in the protection of the Amazon and its freshwater ecosystems.
Join the cultural movement. The exhibition is free and will be from April 22 to May 20, 2023, at Parque Suchiche, Tarapoto. In addition, the inauguration of the cultural movement "Habita el Río" will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. Be part of these urban interventions and start acting for nature!
"Habita el Río" has been convened by the Ministry of Culture, through the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of San Martin, together with the collective Amo El Río and WWF Peru.
"Water is indispensable for life. Taking care of rivers, watersheds and water is our commitment to the planet and the next generations. Through the promotion of art, we open new spaces for dialogue and collaboration. The Amazon needs us to work together for its sustainability," says Luis Alberto Vásquez, Director of the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of San Martin.
Amo El Río
Amo El Río is an initiative created to strengthen the emotional ties and love that exist between the citizens of the rainforest and their Amazonian rivers. Since the river is a source of water, food and the essential means of transportation in the Amazon, it will seek to inspire and encourage the population to become the main guardians of their rivers.
Since 2020, young people from Amazonian cities such as Iquitos, Pucallpa, Tarapoto and Puerto Maldonado, through the Amo El Río initiative, encourage the citizens of the jungle and all of Peru to strengthen the emotional ties that exist between them and their rivers.
