Ponds as Spaces of Art and Science
Exploring Berlin’s urban ponds through artistic and scientific perspectives
At first glance, ponds appear still. Unlike flowing rivers or tidal lagoons, these small bodies of water seem almost motionless. Yet beneath their surfaces, intricate relationships unfold between fish, invertebrates, bacteria, pollutants – and human communities.
In this ARL Lunch Talk, artist Margherita Pevere and environmental anthropologist Germán Joosten invite us to explore Berlin’s urban ponds through the perspectives of both art and science.
Over the past year, Margherita Pevere has been artist in residence at the Jeschke Lab for Ecological Novelty at Freie Universität Berlin
