arka kinari performance
ABOUT
The maritime network was the original internet, mixing peoples, languages, and ideas. Arka Kinari revives disappearing trade-routes with culture as the cargo to bring people back to their waterfronts.

By day the 70-tonne sailing ship Arka Kinari hosts workshops on environmental sustainability and conversations with local communities.
By night the vessel transforms into a stage for a free performance by Grey Filastine (Spain) and Nova Ruth (Indonesia), a multimedia duo who use their extraordinary music and cinematic visuals to help us imagine life after the carbon economy, promote resilience and re-engagement with the sea.
