Invisible Water
A radio show on our regional water cycle.
Lotta Schäfer, Markus Stein

Fast 7% der Landesfläche Berlins machen Gewässer aus, dazu kommen Grünflächen und die bekannte graue Suppe (Wolken), die Wasser halten, sowie Rohre und Wasserhähne, die Wasser zu Endverbraucher*innen leiten. In der Radiosendung beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Wasser, dass uns hier in Berlin umgibt, aber fast unsichtbar geworden ist.

I have always loved the Himalayas. I grew up in the foothills and later I traversed across many of its great landscapes and its lofty glacial peaks, lush meadows full of magical indigenous flowers and most importantly its awe inspiring trees. So when I heard about the loggers and contractors I scrambled up the mountain to see for myself as to what was happening to its endangered forests.

Based on the content of the book box El zumbido de Báalam Kaab, the agroecological school U Yits Ka'an together with the animation studio “Llamarada” in Mexico City developed the animation film El Zumbido de Baláam Kaab. The motion graphics used mainly stem from children’s drawings that were created within the workshop series "Meliponicultura": Stories and Knowledge Exchange. The music score and sound design was developed by the sound studio Pacífico in conversation with the agroecological school U Yits Ka'an and artist Ariel Guzik.
