Midden in de tentoonstelling "Climate as Artifact - Klimaat als mensenwerk’ organiseren we een middag waarbij dialoog vanuit verschillende perspectieven (kunst, wetenschap en maatschappij) centraal staat.
Samen met kunstenaars Esther Kokmeijer, Nishiko, ontwerpers Aliki van der Kruijs, Jos Klarenbeek en gasten stellen we de vraag: How to (re)gain placement within nature?
Het eerste deel van de middag draait rondom het delen van verbeelding en kennis over mondiale golfstromingen met oceanograaf Gerbrant van Vledder, zee-kleuren specialist Hans van der Woerd en Henrik Richter-Alten, over duurzaam zeetransport.
In de pauze bezoeken we de verschillende werken in de tentoonstelling.
Het tweede deel gaat over stromingen in de kunst, en wat de verbinding van kunst met wetenschap kan toevoegen aan maatschappelijk dialoog, met filmmaker Marleen van der Werf en curator Roel Arkesteijn (Stroom, De Domijnen).
Speciaal voor kinderen:
We gaan deze middag de outrigger kano van de Marshall Eilanden inwijden. Wil jij ook helpen? Neem dan herfstbladeren en kastanjes mee, dan gaan we mooi kransen maken die we gaan gebruiken voor deze bijzondere viering!
