Godai Sahara

“Snow/River Wine Sharing Session (with an inaugural tea brewing with a new samovar)”

 

Sahara makes wine from rainwater. Rainwine tastes simple, made from plain ingredients, almost like rainwater with a subtle hint of alcohol. It varies depending on the location of rain collection. Sometimes it’s pure and clear, sometimes it’s filthy leaving unidentifiable flavour.

 

Having no rain in February, Sahara made wine from snow and the river water in Narva. The session will be a small but generous sharing of the wine alongside a screening of a new video work by the artist. A new samovar will also be introduced to the residency as an alternative option for the guests to try an experimental tea brewing.
