Water is the symbol of life and yet, water is increasingly scarcer across the world, due to pollution, corporate control and climate change, even in the northern hemisphere. This project wants to create bridges in between water, alimentary biodiversity and people.

«Confluences – 7 water communities» initiated by the curator Sigrid Pawelke and the association Art(s) compris, is celebrating water and the alimentary biodiversity in 7 communities across the Southern region in France through art projects by Lucy et Jorge Orta and Anna Guilló's cartography. From march onwards, through guided walks and workshops, participants will (re)discover the different types of water present in their daily life, learn how to develop permaculture in community gardens, and engage in cooking classes and storytelling.
In October the 7 communities will celebrate together with 500 guests the results of the workshops in a banquet, the 44th edition of the project THE MEAL 70x7 in Marseille, orchestrated by the chef-artiste Emmanuel Perrodin.

70x7 The Meal, the ancestral banquet ritual with its social role in community networks will be created for the 44th edition. For the first time this ritual will bring together 7 different places, all linked by water from the same region, each site with its particular history in the past and today. In addition, the banquet will be constituted with creations of chefs and inhabitants: each site will choose an edible wild plate from which chefs will create together with participants new recipes. Plates of Royal Limoges by Lucy and Jorge Orta will be marked by these stories of water and the 7 wild edible plants.
