Burullus: Maps of Memory and Sounds of Nature explores Lake Burullus as a living space where nature, memory and daily labor intersect, exploring the relationship between people and the environment through participatory art and field research. Residents, school students, artists and researchers will take part in drawing, bird watching and sound recording workshops to produce an environmental art book, an interactive digital map and a mobile exhibition. The project reimagines living with nature as an ongoing dialogue between people, place, memory, light, sound and water.
