The summer school DIAGRAMS OF WATER
ro /
Alternator, the interdisciplinary working platform developed around topics related to the Danube–Black Sea Canal and waterborne transport infrastructures both globally and in the South-East Europe region, in partnership with tranzit.ro/București organises
The summer school DIAGRAMS OF WATER, in the period 27—31 July. The workshops, presentations, and film screenings will be split between the Experimental Research Station for Art and Life and 24 Arcului Street.
The summer school offers an interdisciplinary program dedicated to exploring water as a biological, ecological, and social matter, viewed through the infrastructures that make it possible, distribute it, and control it. In the context of the climate crisis and geopolitical changes, water is becoming increasingly visible not only as a resource, but also as a space of tension, negotiation, and imagination. From pipelines and dams to bodies and ecosystems, from access and distribution to crisis and resistance, the Diagrams of Water summer school proposes an investigation of water as both material and imagined infrastructure.
The Summer School programme adopts an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together artists, theorists, and practitioners from a range of fields. Over the course of one week, participants will explore topics through a series of workshops, including water at the intersection of theory and literature, the ethics of artists' moving image, monumental art, illustration, and curatorial approaches related to the programme's theme. The workshop series concludes with a session dedicated to practices of political and food autonomy.

FUTURE GARDENING

De Onkruidenier is a Dutch artist collective exploring the evolving relationship between humans and ecosystems through artistic research, installations, performances, and sensory experiences. Their current artistic research investigates how genetic biodiversity is shaped, displaced, preserved, and reimagined through agriculture, food cultures, and ecological change.
Future Gardening is an ongoing artistic practice by De Onkruidenier that explores gardening as a multisensory method for engaging with ecological futures. Rather than cultivating a garden, we cultivate ways of observing and attuning ourselves to the ecosystems we inhabit.
Through collective observation, participants are invited to reflect on their own role within the ecosystem and to explore how gardening can become a practice for engaging with questions of genetic biodiversity. By working with soil, geology, wild plants and seasonal rhythms, we investigate how ecological relationships are cultivated.
At the Experimental Station, Future Gardening focuses on the ecological memory embedded in wild plants and the local geology, exploring how these living archives relate to contemporary food systems. Together, we will search for stories, species, and relationships that become part of the installation On the Same Ribbon at MODEM in Debrecen.
What can wild plants teach us about the future of food? Where is genetic diversity preserved today? Has the supermarket become an unexpected archive of genetic biodiversity?

SOIL MICROBIOLOGY: SCIENCE BENEATH THE SURFACE

The session will begin with a brief introduction to soil microorganisms, highlighting their essential role in maintaining soil health and supporting ecosystem functioning. The presenters will explain the benefits these microorganisms provide to plants and the environment, while also discussing the other side of the topic by introducing pathogenic microorganisms that can cause diseases in various plant species.
The second part of the workshop will consist of a hands-on practical activity. Participants will have the opportunity to observe bacteria and microscopic fungi (molds) under the microscope using slides prepared during the workshop. The presenters will also bring cultures of microorganisms isolated from soil to demonstrate how these organisms are studied in the laboratory. This activity will allow participants to explore microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye and gain insight into the techniques used to investigate them.

Emigrant Melodies: Leaf Whistling

For their workshop at the Experimental Station, Kitti Gosztola and Bence György Pálinkás will explore the traditional folk technique of leaf whistling together with the participants.
Gosztola and Pálinkás have long been interested in the role and symbol of plants in folk culture and folk music. Culture, often perceived as national, is shaped by a constant exchange of its building blocks. Melodies and lyrics travel across linguistic and cultural borders. Plants also move with humans. The artists’ projects try to look at culture not as something that needs to be conserved in an imagined pure form, but as something that needs to be in constant motion.
The leaf whistle can only sound while the plant still holds enough moisture and flexibility, so the sound remains ephemeral and closely tied to the living material. They will experiment with the different sounds of different so-called native and alien species. And they will try to sound together with this archaic technique which is especially good for expressing feelings.

The former socialist states of the Eastern Bloc have the distinct and rare epistemic advantage of going in recent history through the living experience of two very different paradigms that have determined to a significant extent both the internal social order and the external political positioning and presence. However, the width of this epistemic difference has been all but erased in the exclusively Western orientation of East European working bodies and minds after the “opening” of the Iron Curtain, which ironically has reduced the local sense of the world. But how did the travelers, the workers and the professional classes – doctors, architects, artists – traverse this difference, then and now? What lessons could be learned and what remains valid and useful for reopening our sense of the world today, towards a world of solidarity and plurality, hope and reinvention?
Coordinated by Ovidiu Tichindeleanu, the conversations in Living Thought aim to introduce contemporary scholars and artists who are working in the emerging field of knowledge and practices relating to land, to indigenous/ancestral knowledges and eco-social realities, and who are proposing not only reviews of problems, but visionary alternative paths. Continuing of the ongoing work of the Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life, the intellectual conversations in Living Thought are tools of conviviality aiming to spark the radical imagination needed to change our relations to culture, to re-orient our sense of the world, and to regain an ethical life outside the ongoing war on life.
