Posted @withregram • @ashermains A lot to fit in one post! (Also senza barba🙃) We had the opening last night for the Grenada National Pavilion at the Architectural Biennale here in Venice, Italy. The theme, “Walking on Water”, unifies the poetic human elements of movement across water, keepers of heritage and culture, and immanent concerns about our ecological reality. View more of the process at our official account @grenadapavilionvenice and connect with the boat builders in Carriacou, Grenada, and Venice. We were joined by a Venetian collaborator, @ribar.stari to our flotilla of boats that have had international exposure over the past ten years - featuring well wishes on their sails, linking them back to Grenada 🇬🇩 #art #artgrenada #grenadaartisland #biennalearchittetura2023 #venice #enjoyrespectvenezia #carriacou #boats #boatbuilders #heritage #tradition #walkingonwater #senzabarba https://instagr.am/p/Csa_I6fLOmW/

The little boats flotilla starts its journey to #Venice. They started in China, went to Grenada, to Dominican Republic, to Barbados, and now another journey. #thelaboratoryofthefuture #biennalearchitettura2023 🇬🇩#Grenada pavilion https://instagr.am/p/Cr5_mqAL73R/

This was enough of a reason for the wooden boats to evolve to become a bridge between islands. The water was not a barrier. #carriacou #petitmartinique #walkingonwater pavilion opens 18th May in Venezia. #biennalearcitettura2023 #laboratoryofthefuture #leslieloko https://instagr.am/p/CryJRtWM_FV/

The ribs of the boat aren't even the first step. These #boats are reported to last 100 years with proper maintenance. #tradition #authentic #woodenboats #grenada 🇬🇩 #venezia Ties that bind.

Photo by @hf_media showing the current devastating result of global climate change, landing on our doorstep. This heavy blanket of #sargassum chokes our fishing industry that feeds our people. The problem doesn't start with us, and counting our CO2 footprint won't stop it. #climatejustice #smallislandstates #walkingonwater the stench caused by this is sulphuric acid as the seaweed degrades on the beach. Once you smell it you never forget. #grenadaartisland #caribbeanart #environment #beach #caribbeannot @simonstiell https://instagr.am/p/CrbvESzJWQ5/
