Transgeographical Hydro Bodies

‘Transgeographical Hydro Bodies’ is a collaboration of four European partners: Forevergreen (IT), iii (NL), Tenthaus (NO), and Cashmere Radio (DE), promoting an innovative way of touring by stimulating critical reflection on the environment through a transdisciplinary artistic approach.

At the heart of the project is the participatory lecture performance ‘Hydro Bodies Assembly’, touring physically and in hybrid form, in the four cities of the partnership: Genoa, The Hague, Oslo, Berlin, and on radio. The performance is based on the principles of the Charter of Rights of Hydro Bodies, drafted by the artistic research collective, Corpi Idrici, and will be preceded by a series of workshops led by multidisciplinary artists and performers. The crucial engagement of local communities through testimony gathering and awareness-raising activities will contribute to the creation of different versions of ‘Hydro Bodies Assembly’, including context-specific amendments to the Charter. The project includes a hybrid performance, presented live in Berlin and simultaneously broadcast via radio. 

Voices and sounds collected during the workshops and performances will create a new narrative of the tour that will feed into the ‘Hydro Bodies Assembly Podcast’, expanding the performance in time and space.
