On the opening night of Tidal Zone Experiences the artists involved in the exhibition invite you for a ceremonial degustation and other sensorial experiences.
18:00 - Opening exhibition with a ceremonial buffet
During the opening night the installation of ceramic sculptures will be activated to serve specific dishes and other enriching experiences. Both the tasting recipes and ceremonial settings are inspired or refer to traditions and local narratives from seaweed communities around the world.
21:00-22:00 - Performance Out of the Blue by Silke Huysmans & Hannes Dereere / CAMPO
After their acclaimed performances Mining Stories and Pleasant Island, Silke Huysmans & Hannes Dereere present the final part of their trilogy on mining. This time they focus on a completely new industry: deep sea mining. With resources on land becoming increasingly scarce and overexploited, mining companies turn towards the ocean. Through a series of interviews and conversations, an intimate portrait of this new industry emerges.
The exhibition is freely accessible, no ticket needed. For the performance a ticket (€9 (-26y) or €12) must be purchased here.
The Platform for Algae Diplomacy (Filip Van Dingenen & Hélène Meyer) is an open initiative created by a variety of sea plants together with artists, activists and critters. The Platform organizes lectures, performances, seaweed cuttings and ceremonial tastings/bathings. Inspired and choreographed by the tidal movements and migration patterns, and guided by the moon phases and its constellation, it pursues an interrelated linguistic embodiment of seaweed rights & seaweed spirits. Through a playful approach the Platform for Algae Diplomacy encourages an openness and ongoing curiosity for learnings and guidance by plants and other-than-human entities. The Platform on Algae Diplomacy acts as a model to identify and promote the needs and urgencies of critical resistance, to expand narratives and support the inclusion & equality of multiple voices. The Platform has realized workshops and exhibitions in a.o. Ireland, Norway, Belgium, France, Morocco and Turkey.
