Finally, its here in the Philippines, “Riverscapes IN FLUX” – an Eco-Cultural Art Project by the Goethe Institut Hanoi with 17 Artists from 6 South East Asian Countries.

What is Riverscapes IN FLUX?
The art project “Riverscapes IN FLUX”, conceptualized and organized by the Goethe-Institut in Vietnam, seeks to create a discourse on this key ecological issue in a new context. The Goethe-Institute invited young artists from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia and the Philippines to reflect in their work the ecological as well as socio-economic and cultural changes that the riverscapes in these countries are currently experiencing. Supported by experience curators, 17 artworks have been created: multimedia installations and photo series, videos and object installations.
Where has this project been exhibited?
The exhibition was opened in Hanoi and shown in Ho Minh City, then traveled to Bangkok, Phnom Penh, and now in Manila to Jakarta.
What has been said about Riverscapes IN FLUX exhibit?
Searching for Riverscapes exhibit, I found that there is a
Fan Page dedicated for this project and several related website posts. Here are some of the comments of the visitors:
“I had the occasion to visit it in Hanoi. I was really impressed!…Should you happen to see the show, pause and let your senses draw it in. Don’t just look, try to experience the stream of life ensuing from the works exhibited with all of your senses. You may discover not only how important it is to respect nature, but also how that respect translates into respect for all.” – Roberto
“To raise artists’ awareness of rivers problems will help to raise people’s awareness. Art hits not only minds but emotions and hearts,” says the Goethe’s Director, Dr. Almuth Meyer-Zollitsch
By focusing on water streams as point, it is obvious that the river became an important element in life, and is heavily related to everything. – K9

I think this is a good one to visit. An exhibit that has gone places is sure to be something worth visiting.
It is high time that people realize the damage done to our rivers. I guess that artists joining this exhibit may be able to impact the hearts of many people when it comes to saving our rivers and waterways.
WOw! I wish I am in Manila to be able to visit the exhibit. This is such an amazing thing to witness!
That looks like a very interesting exhibit. That would be a good place to visit for those interested in the arts.
i guess by what i’ve rad here the show sounds fantastic!! I shud see it myself too! xx
A really nice exhibit with an endearing theme. A must one if we really care about our dying rivers, specially Pasig River.
I’m going to share this post, hope many would come and witness this event..
I hope so too, especially students.
Interesting! I am imagining a performance art with Geneva Cruz singing “Anak ng Pasig.” Will be waiting for your next post and pictures of the exhibit (if possible). Regards
That’s a very good suggestion Paula. I will forward to Metmuseum Manila your suggestion.
I’d like to see the different artworks and interpretation from different countries.
This sounds like an interesting event. Will mention this to my friends who are into arts. Thanks for sharing!
The show sound really good. I tell my friends about it.
wow this seems to be interesting!
If only METMuseum is photographer-friendly, I’d give this one a chance.
