Director Statement

Concepción es una ciudad que crece al alero de unas de las cuencas hidrográficas más grandes de Chile, es una comuna con humedales y lagunas, sin embargo, no crecemos conociendo las riquezas naturales de nuestro entorno. Eso me hace cuestionar, ¿cómo habrá sido la historia del río? ¿cómo se sentirá ante nuestra presencia?

Concepción is a city that grows on the eaves of one the largest watersheds in Chile, it is a commune with wetlands and lagoons, however, we do not grow up knowing the natural wealth of our environment. That makes me wonder, ¿What will the river's history have been like? ¿How will the river feel about our indifference?
