The activity will inaugurate the new participatory space of Room 21 at the Fundació Joan Miró. It is a sound performance with live singing and drumming that will transport us to different times and places.

When the rain falls, hope returns to the sowing hands; fertility is given back to the land and the senses grow with each raindrop that hits it. When we migrate, we lose the sense of belonging because we are foreigners criminalised for being shrouded in different skins and accents.

Wet Land is shown as the cry of Yemayá at the plunder of the wealthy who break into her guts killing her children from hunger and thirst. A song to life that overcomes death. Wet Land is also the silenced bodies of a race that carries the burden of the grief of its words, through pools dressed in imaginary mud and with the fervent desire to see life that nurtures our longings growing from between their fingers. Wet Land is the fire before the storm, which brings the resignification of existence with it.
