Fluid Boundaries brings together participants from South Africa, Brazil and Switzerland in a transdisciplinary collaboration situated at the intersection of art, science and with a strong focus on decolonial practice.
By creating a common space for the exploration of water – and the flow of knowledges, wisdoms and practices around this life-sustaining element – the programme integrates questions and methods from different disciplinary and cultural perspectives. Using methodologies of South–South–North interaction, the programme aims to question the entrenched power paradigms and knowledge flow direction inherent in the sciences and the arts by disrupting the false dichotomy of centre and periphery.
Supported by Pro Helvetia, Synergies 2024 – with Synergies Pro Helvetia supports research-based and process oriented programs that foster exchange between art, science and technology
