Event Details
Come help build a large pre-hispanic mexican barge at The Gowanus Studio Space as part of SEAWORTHY: a summer of boat inspired artwork, workshops, and adventures.
3 Weekends Starting July 2nd and 3rd, through July 17th.
$65 donation!
Join artist and designers Natalia Porter and Ben Cohen on a 4 week long adventure in building one of Mexico's most Emblematic watercraft: the Trajinera. Traditionally used for shipping crops in and out of the fields and on the canals of Xochimilco, these 30ft long craft equipped with a dining table and chairs are predominantly now used for the enjoyment of local and non-local tourists.
The Trajinera is an emblematic Mexican boat that has existed for centuries. Today, it is still popular in Xochimilco, a rural part of southern Mexico City, best known for its canals and chinampas, which are left from what was an extensive lake and canal system that connected most of the settlements of the Valley of Mexico during Tenochtitlan, the capital of the abounding Aztec Empire in the 15th century. Often referred to as "floating gardens," chinampas were artificial islands, a method of ancient Mesoamerican agriculture. The canals are a vestige of the area’s pre-Hispanic past, which has made Xochimilco a World Heritage Site.
To build this Trajinera, Natalia has employed the help of two architecture students at the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana – Xochimilco, to research the design and construction techniques of these boats. We will be using these plans to build “Xochitl”, our replica Trajinera here in New York. After launching in the Gowanus Canal “Xochitl” will serve not only as a place of cultural exchange, but as a tool and platform for the discussion of different issues, including Mexican Immigration in and around New York City, in partnership with the Mexico Now Festival and the Queens Museum of Art.
