A Seat for the Sea #1: Gesticulated conference at FramerFramed , Amsterdam Can we collectively represent what is still unthinkable, namely “how does the sea raise its voice”?
The so-called Blue Economy serves as a background for this meeting: it conceives industrial and investment projects which are (to be) carried out in the sea. The next Big Thing is deep-sea mining in which the Low Lands with its dredging companies and shipbuilders play a significant role.
Yet, in the setting of FramerFramed's exhibition 'Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes', created by Radha D'Souza & Jonas Staal, it is more than appropriate to hear how artists with a strong bond with the sea relate to this new industrial niche. So, once again: How can we strengthen the voice of the sea? And, dilemma, can we talk in the name of the sea?
Admission is free, please register through Eventbrite. If you’re unable to attend, the event will also be streamed on YouTube channel Framer Framed.
