Contributions from various disciplines, including music, art, literature, biology, philosophy and education, explored aesthetic, ecological and ethical perspectives on life in and around water. Topics such as underwater painting, inland waters, mermaids, axolotls, whale songs and creative octopuses demonstrated impressively how art, science and nature are closely interwoven.
Special impressions were left by the oil painting 'Sinking I' by Hartmut Kiewert and the live performance 'Keening – Song of the Stranding' by Alex South, in which clarinet and pilot whale songs merged.
Many thanks to all the speakers and participants for the inspiring interdisciplinary, interspecies and international exchange.
