Rekodi Maji (Record the Water in Swahili) is a new project by sound and installation artist Walter Kitundu. For this work which is part research, part sound installation, part performance, Kitundu has adorned his kayak with instruments meant to respond to the state of Biddeford Pool’s winds and waters. The sea plucks strings that resonate the hull of the vessel which also holds flutes played by the rising and receding waves. The sounds will be transmitted to shore, allowing the audience to experience the work as if they were inside the kayak as it navigates the shoreline. Rekodi Maji is essentially a tool for studying our relationships with waterways.
How has the built environment and transformation of coastlines shaped the stories that water holds? When we listen carefully what can we learn about how best to nurture these relationships in the years to come?
Spectators will gather at Vines Landing

Free parking available at 1 Bayview Avenue
