Bauhaus of the Seas at NEB Festival
The Interactive Technologies Institute is excited to announce the participation of the Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project in the upcoming New European Bauhaus Festival. Scheduled from April 9th to 13th, 2024, the event will serve as a platform to showcase the project throughout the week, featuring prominently at booth number 17 in the Festival’s FAIR and participating in various events.
One of the highlights of Bauhaus of the Seas Sails’ presence at the Festival will be the premiere of the first episode of its new video series. This debut is scheduled for the opening day of the Festival on April 9th, both at the physical stand and online. The video series explores the project, delving into its concepts, methodologies, and potential impact.
In addition to the premiere, the Bauhaus of the Seas Sails will join forces with other distinguished projects under the New European Bauhaus umbrella for a joint workshop. This collaborative event will bring together projects such as CrAFt, Desire, NEBourhoods, Eyes Hearts Hands, Cultuurcampus, and NEB-Star. Scheduled for Friday, April 12th, at 15:30 CET, this workshop aims to foster dialogue, exchange ideas, and explore synergies between the various initiatives. The event is free as part of the FAIR, but registration is recommended.
The Bauhaus of the Seas Sails is also organising a satellite event on Wednesday, 10 April. Titled “The Ocean Starts Here: more-than-human co-design for Living with the Sea”, this digital workshop will explore the practical application of NEB principles, focusing on inclusivity and sustainability. Together with other NEB lighthouse projects, NEB-Star and Desire, Frederico Duarte will represent Bauhaus of the Seas Sails on April 9th and join the debate about the power and challenges of working with common narratives in these large-scale projects. Register for the event here.
