Wasser trägt Erinnerung 〰️💭
Undercurrents — Woran Wasser erinnern widmet sich dem Gedächtnis des Wassers. Ausgehend vom Labor Shhh… Listening with Waters (Okt 2025–Mai 2026) entwickeln Graziele Sena da Silva, Susana Ojeda und Zuzana Ernst gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden und der Sinopale Artist in Residence Çiğdem Borucu eine ortsspezifische Klangarbeit, die Stimmen aus den verborgenen Wasserwegen unter dem Stadtteil hörbar macht.
Am 8. Mai führt eine Listening-Prozession durch das Brunnenviertel. Das kollektive Klangritual begreift Zuhören als politische, antifaschistische Praxis gegen das Vergessen.

Undercurrents – What Waters Remember
Listening Walk and Sonic Ritual
Fr 8.5.2026, 4.30 pm–8 pm
Meeting Point: Brunnenpassage
What does it mean to listen to water? How are we shaped by the memories that flow through and around us?
Undercurrents – What Waters Remember explores the neighborhood’s waters as resonant spaces of remembrance. It emerges from the co-creative workshop series Shhh… Listening with Waters. Rooted in deep listening as a political practice, participants together with the artistic team – Çiğdem Borucu, Graziele Sena da Silva, Susana Ojeda, and Zuzana Ernst – approach water as a carrier of memory.
On May 8, within the framework of Klima Biennale Wien, the public is invited to join a listening walk through the waters of Brunnenmarkt, followed by a sonic ritual for the waters of the former bunker beneath the Yppenpark.
This site-specific artwork invites participants to attune to the underground currents and sound ecologies that connect us to larger bodies of water, making the underheard audible, and engaging listening as an anti-fascist practice against forgetting.

UNDERCURRENTS — What Waters Remember
Listening Procession and Collective Sonic Ritual
Fr 8.5., 4.30-8pm
What does the memory of water sound like? The artistic project ‘Undercurrents — What Water Remembers’ explores the city’s waters as resonant spaces of remembrance. The project emerges from the co-creative workshop series ‘Shhh… Listening with Waters’ (October 2025 – May 2026). Rooted in Deep Listening as a political practice, the artistic team — Çiğdem Borucu, Graziele Sena da Silva, Susana Ojeda, and Zuzana Ernst — together with participants, explores water as a carrier of memory, knowledge, and movement. The site-specific focus lies in Vienna’s Brunnenviertel.
The artistic work invites participants to attune to invisible underground currents that connect us to the greater water being. In collective listening sessions, voices, sounds, and stories of the neighborhood are gathered — from the market to hidden waterways and the bunker beneath Yppenplatz. These fragments flow into a growing Listening Archive and form the basis of a site-specific sound composition that brings the unheard to the surface.
The public listening procession and sonic ritual on May 8, 2026, leads across Brunnenmarkt across Yppenplatz toward the ‘waters that remember’. As an Anti-Fascist Day of Remembrance, it marks a gesture of vigilance against erasure. ‘Undercurrents’ understands collective listening to subterranean currents and concealed histories as a shield against authoritarian narratives and as an invitation to perceive memory as a living, relational process.
