We encounter rivers everywhere in Berlin. No wonder, after all, Berlin was built along the Spree. In our daily lives, however, we rarely consciously perceive our flowing companions. Besides, we ask ourselves hardly ever how they are actually doing in the environmental crisis. In this seminar, we invite you to learn from and with the rivers of Berlin and to let yourself drift with all your senses.
We will combine practical river knowledge such as renaturation methods and artistic-design practices.

Guests: NABU Institute for River and Wetland Ecology, Hannah Strothmann (Collaborative Research Center for Intervening Arts), Jakob Kukula (Symbiotic Lab, SpreeBerlin), Berliner Wasserbetriebe and others
