Nearly 70% of both the Earth and the human body consists of water - yet little is understood about how water carries stories between bodies. Colors in the memory of water - explores the traditional Turkish art of Ebru — also known as paper marbling.


The workshop is a hands-on learning space - where participants will learn how to create traditional patterns such as gelgit (tide) and hatip designs on water and transfer them onto paper. The aim is to explore the rhythms that arise between colors, water, and movement, while also understanding the meditative and cultural aspects of this ancient art form.


This workshop is facilitated by Seval, a trained chemist and Cendel, an English teacher — who both have +10 years of experiences with education and cross-cultural community organising. Through their shared interest in water and fluid memory, they collaborate to explore the art of Ebru - the processes of marble painting.


“Colors in the memory of water”  is part of lím collective’s collaborative program with Asyl Vesthimmerland, aimed at curating and developing cultural initiatives in partnership with residents and creative residents. The programme explores organising creative and culturally specific programming migration contexts. Graphic design by Atakan Kara.
