Contested Waters


Venice Workshop: Aquatic Futurism 

2024 October 11-12



 



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 practioners, 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.

涉水而渡 

2024年10月威尼斯工作坊 水未來主義


《涉水而渡》是一個橫跨台北、高雄、與威尼斯的跨國展覽合作計畫,探討在高度地緣政治摩擦的時代,水被領域化、軍事化、資本化,並因此陷入無以為渡。儘管如此,《涉水而渡》計畫還是試圖與台灣、芬蘭、與威尼斯當代視覺藝術工作者與藝術團體,一起接近穿越水生麻煩的各種可能性。在這些朝向水未來主義的試探中,我們探問返回水宇宙的當代視覺藝術,與合作型人類世藝術的新形式。

2024年10月的「水未來主義」工作坊,在台灣陽明交通大學文化研究國際中心「多物種正義」研究群的支持下,與 威尼斯 S.a.L.E. Docks藝術團體和威尼斯大學環境人文學程合作,匯聚台灣、義大利、印度孟買、與印尼雅加達的藝術工作者、一起與威尼斯的批判生態藝術網絡和女性主義行船團體、進行為期兩天的瀉湖水道體感行船、濕地生態探索、創作、噪音聲響現場演出。工作坊也邀集當代東南亞涉及水體的視覺和表演藝術,以貼近變化中的瀉湖城市環境感知,朝向新型態瀉湖未來設計的跨領域合作可能性。
