Throughout 2023, artists and scientists explored the waterscapes of the river Spree—creating installations, performances, and audio works in the context of River Stories.  The exhibition and event will travel to the Baumschule Kulturforum, a free and accessible artistic and horticultural installation which is home to nearly 200 trees in the expanse of Berlin’s Kulturforum. Visitors can join artists, anthropologists, hydrologists and urban ecologists to discuss our relationship with rivers—exploring themes of climate resilience, biodiversity, and cultural memory.
