Not designed for you
Acoustic and sensory excursion organised by the Embassy of the North Sea for Europe’s finest hour festival
Many species in our European urban ecosystems, such as The European Eel in Amsterdam, face environments that were not designed for them, or even against them. They have no choice but to find their way, struggle, perish, or adapt. So what if we turn this dynamic around? Thijs de Zeeuw and Sheng Wen Lo from the collective of the Embassy of the North sea take a limited number of participants for a small journey outside of Pakhuis de Zwijger – and bring to the surface some of our overlooked senses and sensitivities.

Representing Nature
Do Europeans need to reshape their connection with the natural environment? What role can arts & culture play in this? We will discuss with several European artists and initiatives how to open up to listen to our natural environment in Europe in light of extinction, biodiversity loss and climate change.
With: Michiel van Iersel, urbanist and curator; Nahuel Cano, performer, researcher; Christiane Bosman, Embassy of the North Sea
