TIDAL ArtS

TIDAL ArtS is a project offering grants to artists, collectives, and creatives to support the European Union’s Mission to Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030 (“the Mission”). Using a tidal logic, the project fosters connections between disciplines and species. Inspired by Neimanis’s “Bodies of Water” and “Hydrocommons” concepts, TIDAL ArtS emphasizes that human bodies, composed primarily of water, are both materially and semiotically entwined with other water bodies. By taking water as both a subject and praxis, TIDAL ArtS engages with the cyclical movement of water as a co-design methodology. Through multiple rounds of contact with local citizens, scientists, and cultures, the project’s waves of influence expand.
