The series of events will enrich the exhibition Wasserspiegel - Water Bodies with additional perspectives in order to raise awareness of the water problems in flux and common strategies for caring for them. To this end, Quasi Objects has designed an intergenerational space for listening, looking and sharing. In the riverbed, we look into the depths and provide space for new actors, impulses and stories.
The voices that speak about water justice, healthy water, cultural and river spaces and their rights can also be heard on the radio. The public program follows the water stories and picks up threads of conversation that will change the exhibition over time.
The formats of this program are as diverse as the rivers they come from. From performances and film screenings, to walks and various discussion formats, to workshops for young and old to take part in, everything is included.
We are looking forward to the exchange with you.
