Contested Waters: Venice Workshop: Aquatic Futurism

Contested Waters

Contested Waters

Contested Waters is a visual art project connecting aquatic aesthetics of Taipei, Venice, and Kaohsiung. Swimming into the ways in which waters are militarized, capitalized, and troubled in the age of hyper geopolitical frictions, in 2024 we launch the project by first gathering together in the up-coming workshop in Venice, October 11-12th, at S.a.L.E. Docks. The 2024 workshop focuses on the theme of Aquatic Futurism, bringing together Italian and Taiwanese artists, scholars, and activists to explore and re-imagine forms of aquatic futures in our time of planetary polycrisis.

In the 2-day workshop, we focus on cutting-edge performances inspired by scenes of militarized waters, lagoon jellyfish, and the social life and death of ships while surrounded by movements of weathering, listening, sounding, thinking and feeling with the contested politics of waterways. By staying with the trouble of waters with Taiwanese and Italian critical ecology art practitioners, we hope to explore new horizons toward conceiving and reconceiving aquatic futures as critical material connections.

The workshop is a part of the Contested Waters exhibition project 2024-2025 (Taipei, Kaohsiung, & Venice), curated by Dr. I-Yi Hsieh (Multispecies Justice research cluster, the International Center for Cultural Studies, Taiwan N.Y.C.U.), in collaboration with S.a.L.E. Docks collective & the Art for Critical Ecology network in Venice, along with the Environmental Humanities program at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
