Conversations, Long forms and other Reflections on topics of eco-social design, preservation of cultural material heritage as well as alternative means of production in today’s society.
The symposium by Drugo more & Oaza accompanies the exhibition of the same name will see a diverse group of experts explore the complex relationship between humans and the sea, such as the impact of human activity on oceanic ecosystems, the environmental and socio-political challenges the sea faces, and the evolving understanding of the ocean beyond traditional landscapes.
The interdisciplinary symposium explores coastlines and marine environments through ecological, anthropological, geopolitical, and cultural lenses. The event encourages innovative ways of engaging with the sea, drawing from the ongoing Echoes of the Abyss project by Robertina Šebjanič that examines the environmental impact of munitions disposal in oceans and the complex human-ecological dynamics that affect marine ecosystems.
