It is sweeter to wander with the wretched and outcasts than to sit crowned with roses at the banquets of the rich

MONEY AND WATER FLOW TOGETHER / DINHEIRO E ÁGUA FLUEM JUNTOS (INVITATION)

MONEY AND WATER FLOW TOGETHER /
DINHEIRO E ÁGUA FLUEM JUNTOS


is a small and informal investigation into the political economy and water in the Rio de Janeiro area. It is made up of component parts, each one it's own small act of discovery but each one making links with the others in sometimes clear and sometimes oblique ways.


We invite anyone who is interested in joining us for this sometimes poetic reverie and drift through the different Rio terrains tracking and following water but also the sometimes strict material world of rocks, city infrastructures and historical buildings that cannot be left out of such a series of adventures and intentions to map how money flows together with water.


So far we have employed the methods of walking, photographing, recording, archival research and writing. We are happy to expand these methods.


We are also happy to engage in the creation of a useful bibliography of texts, books and plans and maps that can be built up as a resource for further investigation. This may be one further component part.

Not strictly related but here's a picture I took today of a favourite spot of yours - Burgess Park (almost re-opened now - I think you would prefer the previous wilder version):
