Curated by Creative Director Azul Barrientos, Todos Agua 2 promises to ignite conversations, inspire creativity, and foster a deeper connection to our planet and its precious resources. The festival is rooted in reverence for water, acknowledges its vital role in sustaining life, confirms its spiritual significance and its profound connection to our ancestral legacy.
