Running Towards A Assembly of Things, the work commissioned for the festival, will be presented on March 27 at the Casa del Lago UNAM at 18:30. The project revolves around Mexico City's water crisis, fusing the sounds of the hydro-political infrastructure, underwater recordings and the voices of a group of local collaborators who will take part in a three-week residency with Mombaça. The project will later be transformed into a sound installation adapted to the space, to be presented at WIELS in Brussels.
