Fly with Pacha, Into the Aerocene (2023)
On January 25, 2020, the aerosolar sculpture Aerocene Pacha flew with a message written with the communities of Salinas Grandes in Jujuy, Argentina, written on its surface: “Water and Life are Worth More than Lithium.” This achievement marks the most sustainable flight in human history and one of the most important experiments in the history of aviation. Completed in solidarity with the 33 Indigenous communities in the Salinas Grandes region, the flight amplified their voices in unison against harmful lithium mining practices in northern Argentina.
Directors: Tomás Saraceno, Maximiliano Laina.
