Open Lab Abend: Ocean Futures: Meereszukünfte gemeinsam erkunden
In the organizer's words:
The oceans connect us all - our histories, our cultures, our futures. But their future is at stake: climate crisis, species extinction, pollution, geopolitical tensions - all of these threaten the oceans, their creatures and ultimately ourselves. The new special exhibition "Ocean Futures" asks how we can work together to ensure fairer and more regenerative marine futures - locally and globally.
The exhibition marks the start of a new format for international exchange at Futurium: together with The Mind Museum in the Philippines, we are opening up a dialog between the global South and North. The focus is on a country that is one of the most biodiverse in the world - and at the same time one of the most affected by climate change. The exhibition concept and exhibits are being developed in close cooperation with the partner museum, which is also showing its own exhibition on the topic.
What can you expect at the Open Lab evening?
We will approach the questions of tomorrow in interactive exercises and during a joint visit to the special exhibition:
- What stories do people who live with the sea tell - in the Philippines and in Schleswig-Holstein?
- What can we learn from each other to better protect the oceans?
- What could new, fairer ways of living on and with the sea look like?
Be inspired by the expansive installation by Filipino artist Leeroy New - a speculative future world that is partly reminiscent of a huge mangrove forest and partly of an artificial island. A place of imagination, of listening, of negotiation.
Everyone who wants to share their view of the sea, discuss it and shape the future together is invited - across generations, creatively and openly.
