<h1>A Seat for the Sea</h1>
<p>
A Seat for the Sea is an artistic-research project coordinated by Greet
Brauwers, in duo with Raf Custers.
</p>
<p>
In 2022 we travel via 7 stations towards enhanced comprehension of the
sea, its existence and threats. Actors of all kinds but with particular
sea experience are invited to take part in this journey. ASftS arose
from previous work, new social developments and our concerns,
particularly in relation to deep-sea mining.

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”?
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Yet, in the setting of FramerFramed's exhibition
<a href="https://framerframed.nl/en/"
>'Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes'</a
>, 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?

<p>
For this first public moment of ASftS, <em>Greet Brauwers</em> and
<em>Raf Custers</em> invite the following artists to share their
practices and their views:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<em>Marialena Marouda</em> (GR/GER/B) works in the intersections
between performance and sound art. She is the initiator of The
Oceanographies Institute.
</li>
<li>
<em>Esther Kokmeijer</em> (NL) is artist, explorer, designer and
photographer. Since 2013 she also works as an expedition
photographer and polar guide, sailing to the Arctic during the
Arctic summer and to Antarctica during the Antarctic summer.
</li>
<li>
<em>Theun Karelse</em> (NL) studied fine arts in Amsterdam before
joining FoAM, a trans disciplinary laboratory at the ‘interstices’
of art, science, nature and everyday life. His interests and
experimental practice explore edges between art, environment,
technology and archaeology. The Embassy of the Northsea invited
him to be part of the fieldwork team for the future of the Delta.
</li>
<li>
<em>Stijn Demeulenaere</em> (BE) is a sound artist from Brussels.
He makes installations, soundscapes and performances and does
sound design for dance and theatre. He also does a lot of field
recording, which he then uses in installations, compositions and
live sets.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>Anna Luyten</em> will organise the exchanges as a conversator.
She's a philosopher, does artistic research at the School of Arts,
KASK Ghent and lectures in cultural criticism at the drama academy
