Wet Conversations: Prototypes for intra-acting with water bodies

Europe is surrounded by more than 38,000 kilometers of coastline. This event takes place on the occasion of the exhibition The ocean speaks. New ecologies and new economies of the seas, on view at DHub until February 23, and its collaboration with the Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project and its consortium. The artist group SUPERFLEX and two artists involved in both projects, the collective Fahrenheit 180 (Jeremy Morris and Luca Carlisle) and Juan Pablo Pacheco Bejarano, will explain how, through their artistic practices, they establish new visions and ways of relating around the most definitive global natural space and the most critical shared space in the EU and the world: the seas, oceans, and other water bodies.
