Fluid Interdisciplinaries
23-25 October 2025
HU Berlin, Tieranatomisches Theatre, Centre for Cultural Technology, Philippstraße 13/Haus 3, 10115 BerlinConnecting Waters, Bridging Perspectives
Fluid Interdisciplinarities is a three-day festival which brings together researchers, artists, and practitioners to unpack water-related research and practices. Organized by the Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems (IRI THESys), the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and the Knowledge Exchange with Society team at the Centre for Cultural Techniques (HZK), the event features academic sessions and public events, including film screenings, walkshops and artistic interventions. Through the diverse program, the festival aims to foster knowledge exchange between science, art, and society.
Fluid Interdisciplinarities will take a special focus on rivers, including the Spree, the Maas, the Brahmaputra, the Magdalena, the Nile, the Danube, and the Panke. These rivers will not remain one-dimensional and abstracted topics, but be enlivened through rich discussions, collaborative and participatory activities. This will be the focus of House of Rivers on Saturday October 25th, which is designed in cooperation with artist Regina Hügli (One Body of Water), showcasing interactive discussions and artistic projects on water session.
Stay tuned for a full program and registration information!
The event is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung,
