Hydromedia Seeing With Water

Karlsruhe, Germany

Hydromedia: Seeing With Water is an artist residency program hosted by the University of Arts and Design (HfG) Karlsruhe, inviting established artists and designers to develop innovative tools rethinking human-nature relationships, particularly around water management and global warming, through site-specific work in the Upper Rhine area. The one-month residency in April provided access to HfG workshops, partnerships with NABU, ZKM, and KIT, followed by local exhibitions in Karlsruhe and Dresden. It is part of a larger EU Creative Europe project (-) with residencies at three institutes, each hosting four artists to create experimental methods for ecological water engagement, culminating in a group show.
