The Grup d’Estudis Horta-Riu de l’Ateneu Popular de Ponent is a research team that promotes knowledge of the water heritage of the city of Lleida and its territory from a multidisciplinary perspective. Its aims are to know and make known the history and value of the Horta de Lleida and the Segre River, to assert their importance, to foster the protection of the cultural and natural heritage, to produce quality publications and content, and to drive diverse cultural initiatives to raise public awareness.
The members of the group are: Quim Abadia, Antoni Benavente, Jordi Bolòs, Marc Coca, Xavier Eritja, Xavier Esterri, Esther Fanlo, Josep Forns, Josep Ramon Gallart, Carmina Pardo, Marc Sants, Eduard Trepat and Enric Vicedo.

Watery Embodiments of Matter and Signs” and on the occasion of World Water Day.

Marco Noris is the author of “Sequere”, an artistic project about time and memory that begins with a symbolic act: collecting water at the mouth of the Ebro and walking upstream to return it to the source of the Segre, the Ebro’s main tributary. The route lasted forty-four days, during which the artist walked seven hundred and fifty kilometres and crossed five provinces and nine different comarques (counties), eight of them Catalan. The gaze of the walkers and of their bodies crossing space and time was the instrument for activating a poetic reading of the territory. The experiences along the route and the space crossed —with its geography, its place names, its towns and its mountains— are the trigger for an investigation into historical memory, human relationships and territory.
“Sequere” is a project by Marco Noris in collaboration with Celeste Reyna.
