Climate Imaginaries at Sea

Description

Climate Imaginaries at Sea is a multi-part artistic research programme and public event series in Amsterdam that brings together artists, designers, and researchers to explore how we imagine and relate to rising sea levels. The initiative operates through collaborative studios and public formats—such as exhibitions, workshops, talks, and performances—that foreground speculative, participatory, and practice-based approaches to climate change.

The project specifically aims to challenge dominant, often technical or distant representations of climate change by engaging alternative perspectives, including interspecies relations, material research, and Global South or Indigenous knowledges. Through these lenses, it seeks to make climate futures more tangible, situated, and open to collective interpretation.

As both a research framework and a public-facing event, Climate Imaginaries at Sea functions as a platform for experimentation, exchange, and imagination, using artistic practices to rethink how societies can perceive, narrate, and potentially live with changing water environments.
