w a t e r s p a c e

In collaboration with Fundació Enric Miralles in Barcelona and Fundacion Nueva Cultura del Agua, we are thrilled to announce the second edition of w a t e r s p a c e: a platform to explore the artistic engagements, scientific interactions, and political interfaces with water, which shape our socio-hydrological world.

w a t e r s p a c e is a platform hosted in the space of the Fundació Enric Miralles (FEM) in collaboration with the NEWAVE Network, FNCA (Fundación Nueva Cultura del Agua) and with the support of MITMA (Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda of the Government of Spain) - General Directorate of Urban Agenda and Architecture. It explores the artistic engagements, scientific interactions, and political interfaces with water that shape our socio-hydrological world, through the interdisciplinary interaction of artists, designers, architects, activists and scientists.

w a t e r s p a c e will be opened by an exhibition with photographs taken by the photographer and researcher Javier Rodriguez Ros and designed and coordinated by the Fundació Enric Miralles. The three days program will hold the exhibition, three symposiums organized by FEM, FNCA and ICTA and a closing party.

Please register to w a t e r s p a c e here.
