Co-Producers: Ekaitz lekunberri Etxebarria & Lorena Paz -Mugarik Gabe & LabID.org-Is a work of art designed together by a group of artists and professionals involved in awareness raising activities. The video-installation can be thought of as a play in the sense that it recreates dramatically a situation or scene, dramatizes a process with the intention of being a nomadic class of educational experience. It is a consciously socio-political act as it places a standpoint/ set of values in society. The aims of 4 elements are: to use art in a multi-disciplinary format as an educational tool to raise awareness / consciousness about the following themes: The lost link with nature, campaigning in support of the cosmovision of indigenous populations because we believe that this coincides with our right to sustainable development. We raise awareness about the north-south divide as well as condemning the loss of bio-diversity. The Earth element: we leave open the debate as to whether there was a beginning. We dramatize the birth of sound, music, voices and words. We represent both cultural, ethnic and bio-diversity. We give homage to the fight of the peoples, the fight for dignity. The Fire element: During the first experiment in Euskadi we worked with the local minority language and analyzed the nature of the conquest. Including a demand for respect, dialogue and peace. The Air element: A critique of the individualism, ego-centricism and the level of social control that exist within our society. We include a demand for reflection on the possibility of halting the process towards destruction / Armageddon. This is because we believe that neo-liberalism can be overtaken / displaced by collective social action. The Water element: we warn of the dangers to come if we do not face up to the problems of environmental destruction, with specific regard to the geo-political problem of water resources and the unfair distribution of this scarce, vital planetary resource. We also propose that social change cannot be achieved without personal change.Artistic details: We work with music, images and actors, all of which are at the service of transmitting the message to the public. To this end we seek to achieve the complete fusion of music, image and actor. The image is the virtual stage of the artist, while the music functions as the word, representing minority languages. The actors, jugglers and dancers will gradually involve themselves in the creative process, as our role is to work with the individual population groups. This is because the artistic distinctiveness of the 4-element project derives from its itinerant nature and the fact that a two-way process of information exchange is created.
