And yet we often perceive it as something alienating rather than unifying. \u2018By Way of Water\u2019, the third exhibition in our annual program KANTEN UND KNOTEN (Knots and Edges), takes inspiration from confluences &#8211; the points where different bodies of water meet &#8211; to dissolve rigid boundaries and categorizations in the ways we relate to each other and to our (urban) surroundings. The exhibition unites six artistic positions across various media to explore how space can be inscribed, read, and (re-)interpreted through the lens of hydro-cartographic and hydro-feminist approaches.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-3\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>The exhibition will be accompanied by artist talks and exhibition tours and a special program on World Rivers Day (29 September 2024).<br><br><strong>With artistic contributions by:<\/strong> Mirja Busch, Thesea Rigou, Anton Filatov, Sanne Vaassen, Claire Waffel, U8 Kollektiv with Rabab Haidar<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"water\">Water Histories<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-3\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>3\/8\/2024 4 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artist Talk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In English<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free Entry<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-3\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>The artist Sanne Vaassen and Alejandra Villa, doctoral student in ecohydrology at the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), will enter into a dialog about what unites them: a fascination with the origins and transformations of water landscapes. Together, they will blur the boundaries between their disciplines and exchange their perspectives on the relationship between humans and water. The starting point of the dialog is Sanne\u2019s installation Shaped by Water, a three-dimensional geochronology of the human-water-relationship made of glass, which can be seen in the atrium of the B\u00e4renzwinger.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-3\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>Artist <strong>Sanne Vaassen<\/strong> explores the fluid transitions in matter and phenomena, focusing on the water cycle, seasonal tree changes, and language evolution. Central to her work are themes of time and change, intersecting with ecology, geography, history, and anthropology. Her work has been exhibited at the Bonnefantenmuseum (Maastricht), SALTS (Basel), Unit 1 Gallery (London), and 601Artspace (New York). She was a resident at the Jan Van Eyck Academy in 2014-2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alejandra Villa<\/strong> is a second-year PhD candidate at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB). In the Department of Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry, she studies organic pollutants in the hyporheic zone, the boundary between river and groundwater. Her interest in water issues began in Colombia, where she earned a Bachelor&#8217;s in Geological Engineering.

Bori&#8217;s work explores the cultural and symbolic connections between femininity and water, drawing on mythic representations of aquatic female figures to critique humanity\u2019s exploitative relationship with nature. Through the lens of hydrofeminism, she creates multimedia projects that offer alternative narratives of resilience and ecological care, seeking to inspire more ethical environmental stewardship. Conceptually, her work operates at the intersection of narrative, moving and still images, focusing on how social and historical forces shape individual and collective life, and how people resist this structural determination\u2014whether through work, hope, love, migration, or madness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>16:00 pm<\/strong><br><strong>RIPPLES: A group walk along the Spree<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>Clementine Butler-Gallie (ReRouting) and Viviane Tabach (Co-Making Matters)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RIPPLES will be a group walk along the Spree, starting at B\u00e4renzwinger and arriving at Flussbad Garten, inviting participants to move together to rhythms of the water and share stories of waterways from both near and far.
