The Swimming Cities collective (including the likes of Jux favorites Swoon, Monical Canilao, and more) is planning a new project for mid March 2010 on the Ganges River in India to coincide with the Kumbh Mela festival, the largest human gathering on the planet.

“We plan to construct a large fleet of small sculptural rafts and travel from the Himalayan foothills city of Haridwar to the holy city of Varanasi,” writes the collective. “Our journey will culminate with a performance on a floating island theater comprised of the interlocking rafts. For further information visit our new web sight weareswimmingcities.org.

“These rafts will be designed and built by a number of the members of the Serenissima crew as well as members from past and future projects; this is not a ‘Swoon’ project, though she may be involved in some small way, or at least in spirit.”
