119. Lichen

The symbiotic nature of lichen makes it one of nature's most powerful life forms. An organism that is born in symbiosis, that grows and expands in intimate duality. Based on the words of the philosopher Donna Haraway, the singer Maria Arnal and the writers María Sánchez and Irene Solà join their voices to build a symbiotic story of fish and nature, of drought and swamps, of characters and legends, of science and poetry Three voices that intertwine in dialogue in this text. A text that wants to be and is, a lichen.

"All stories / begin in the water / All stories/ begin with a word / All lives / begin with a cell"
