TW Education

We conducted workshops on the islands and in Rome with children, who channeled their boundless creativity into drawings inspired by their imagination and their unique experiences with the sea and water in its countless forms. Through their art, they revealed a world of wonder, inviting us to journey into their thoughts and feelings. Observing the strokes of their imagination as they reflected on water underscores the profound power of creativity to illuminate new perspectives. It celebrates the wonder of introspection, the joy of expression, and the limitless potential to reimagine our relationship with water.

Water, ever-changing and essential, became a source of inspiration, a mirror for their emotions, and a canvas for their dreams. The children’s creations remind us of the intrinsic link between creativity and discovery, urging us to approach the sea and water as spaces for growth, connection, and renewal.

To educate is not to impart knowledge but to create a dialogue—one that transforms all of us.

TW champions this dialogue, fostering mutual growth and shared wonder as we stand before the sea. It invites us to dive into new understandings and embrace uncharted horizons, recognising that water not only sustains life as limited element of life, but also unlocks the depths of our creative and emotional worlds.

Valorizing water through works of art, exhibits and school involvement we aims to find a dialogue between differences and awareness of the importance of water in all its forms. Water as purification, water as origin, water as contact, water and its relation with human beings.

TALKING WATER 2019 / ROME

ROME MACRO / 5th December 2019

TALKING WATER: does beauty save the world?
An event to improve the language where emotions are words, thanks to relation with reality.

WATER as an element of life, creativity, expressions. Moreover, water as rights for all, nature, humans and animals in this world. The journey through the language of art as bridge to discover the humanity which acts and through which, we can realize a movement to, a dialogue with the other and protect water and start to act.

“Incolore, inodore, insapore, trasparente. Eppure è fonte di vita e di energia, di bellezza e di benessere, elemento necessario di sopravvivenza, ponte tra luoghi e persone. Le forme che assume, i colori di cui si tinge: campiture piatte, grana sottile, trama di tessuto, infinite sfumature, pennellate, movimento. Rispecchia immagini da prospettive diverse, le frantuma e le mischia. Filtra, riflette, modifica la nostra percezione delle cose e cambia essa stessa continuamente. Riflette e fa riflettere. Mantenendo la sua natura ma continuamente mutevole e sfuggente rispecchia il nostro mondo interiore: inafferrabile e in continuo movimento. È maestra di vita: non trattiene ma stempera e fluisce. “ Marcella Simonelli

IX encuentro y muestra artística internacional THROUGH WATERS
Free entrance

El tema central del evento es el AGUA, fuente de vida para cada ser viviente, además elemento de comunicación entre culturas diferentes, y de la diversidad.
El objetivo es sensibilizar y crear conciencia de lo que este elemento representa para nosotros y para nuestra realidad.
El AGUA no sólo como un bien común y un recurso limitado, sino también como un idioma y tema de la inspiración artística.
En este viaje comenzó desde China en el año 2012, a través de Asia hasta llegar a tierras europeas, estamos valorando el agua como transportador de ideas y la representación de muchas realidades diferentes, tratando de formular un lenguaje donde la relación entre las categorías que utilizamos para el pensamiento puede ser determinado por el sentido común de la curiosidad y el acercamiento entre las diferencias.
A través del trabajo y la mirada de los artistas, la imagen fotográfica, documentales, y diseño de los niños y estudiantes, las instalaciones de videoarte y la poesia, los conciertos y convenciones multidisciplinarias, THROUGH WATERS busca darle más valor a la gran potencialidad de este proyecto: unir todas las energías en un solo elemento, como un vórtice, donde las fuerzas se derivan de las sinergias y de compartir, para sensibilizar, valorizar y crear un nuevo lenguaje para representar y para contar sobre el AGUA.
En Barcelona, sobre el tema del agua, expondremos obras fotográficas y pinturas de artistas italianos e internacionales, vendrán proyectados dos documentales realizados por directores italianos: “THE WELL” y “CRY SEA”  y presentada la instalación Drawing Cloud, compuesta de mas de 200 diseños de niños de todo el mundo.
El 18 de marzo a las 11 a.m. se proyectará el documental " THE WELL – water voices from Ethiopia” de Esplorare la Metropoli, con la presencia del Liceo Amaldi en la Casa De Los Italianos, después de la proyección seguirá el debate.
