a Wave

a Wave

collective action for the river

Approximately one hundred children from three schools—La Nobel Gabriela, the Liceo Técnico San Alfonso, and the Colegio de Tolpán—came together on the banks of the river to do the wave, as people do during sporting events. It was a metaphorical action to bring about the restoration of the river to its normal levels.

texts by two girls on the action of art:

Let’s go, we can do it! Let’s do the wave so life and peace can return to the Renaico River. Let’s do it for the Renaico River.

I want the Renaico River to return to what it was, before it dies out. If it dies out, no one will be able to swim there. In the past, the Renaico River was full of life, but now it’s weaker, so: Let’s do the wave to bring back the Renaico River!!!
