Body Ebro in Zaragoza: the river becomes a community body
After 50 days of walking, on Friday June 6 the artistic project “Cos d’Ebre / Cuerpo Ebro” celebrates its arrival in Zaragoza with a collective, celebratory event along the Ebro River.
We will travel a stretch of the Ebro rowing in a traditional felucca, becoming a shared body with the community of Radio Nikosia and with anyone who wishes to join this stage of the journey.
The proposal, developed in complicity with Iñaki Andrés—a native of Aragón and master of ceremonies—is an invitation to communal attunement and dialogue with the waters, activating the power of collective movement.
This collective celebration will culminate in a vermouth-and-conversation with the Nikosian community, where we will open up the experience of the Ebro journey and its many dimensions: the relationship with the landscape, historical memory, borders, ecological conflicts and collective imaginaries, among others.
Thanks to Iberflumen for making the felucca available, and to Iñaki, whose hospitality and skill made this possible.
Thanks also to the energy of Radio Nikosia, travelling from Barcelona to share this gathering and celebration with “Cos d’Ebre / Cuerpo Ebro”.
“Cos d’Ebre / Cuerpo Ebro” is a project by Marco Noris, created in collaboration with the psychoanalyst Celeste Reyna and produced by the Contemporary Art Center Lo Pati. The project will culminate in an exhibition curated by Andrea Pacheco González, to be held at the same centre, in Amposta, from September 6 to November 2, 2025.
Text and event coordination: Celeste Reyna.
