On Land, In Water Amphibian Practices
Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas and Gökçen Erkılıç Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas will present their interdisciplinary artistic practice, focusing on their ongoing project The Swamp School, in conversation with Gökçen Erkılıç. Swamps are not only carbon sinks but critical ecosystems, providing habitats for diverse life forms and supporting rich biodiversity. The Swamp School explores the swamp as both an ecological system and a conceptual tool for rethinking human cohabitation with other species. Positioned at the intersection of multiple disciplines, the project engages with the swamp as a dynamic, fluid space of learning. Beyond The Swamp School, the conversation will expand to the broader role of radical pedagogies in the arts, particularly in relation to critical practices and wet landscapes. The discussion will address progressive methodologies in climate research, activism, and citizenship, fostering new ways of learning and engagement. Organized as part of “Istanbul Coastline Atlas Vol. X: Deep Listening / Deep Mapping,” one of five research strands within Water Assemblies, this conversation will be held in English and is open to everyone. The program will take place online via Zoom and will be broadcast live at Salt Beyoğlu. Please register here for online participation. No registration is required for in-person attendance at Salt Beyoğlu.
