If water could speak, what would it tell?<\/p>\n
As part of the BERLIN DESIGN WEEK \/ BERLIN DESIGN NIGHTS we cordially invite you to the EXHIBITION OPENING SAVE!ING STORIES STORED IN WATER<\/strong> and a CONVERSATION between the artist MARIE JESCHKE<\/strong>, the civil engineer STEPHAN DITTRICH<\/strong> (GSP eG Genossenschaft selbstverwalteter Projekte), the press spokesman STEPHAN NATZ<\/strong> (Berliner Wasserbetriebe) and the architectural consultant ELENA BERGEN<\/strong> (LAUFEN save!) about the potential that lies in dealing with the seemingly unspectacular: Urine, infrastructure – and the design of a future worth living. The exhibition is curated by GABRIELA ANCO<\/strong>. <\/p>\n With the exhibition SAVE!ING STORIES STORED IN WATER<\/strong>, Berlin artist MARIE JESCHKE invites us to see urban infrastructures with different eyes. Water – supposedly a neutral transportation medium – becomes a narrator here. The exhibition makes visible what normally remains hidden: the cyclical movement of water through cities, bodies and the environment – and the traces of urban existence that it stores in the process. <\/p>\n The focus is on the invisible: wastewater as a cultural phenomenon, as evidence of human intervention and as a carrier of forgotten narratives.<\/p>\n It is time to rethink wastewater management. A shift to a decentralized, circular wastewater management system will benefit cities, agriculture and the biodiversity of rivers and oceans. <\/p>\n Developed in collaboration with the Austrian design studio EOOS, save! opens up new paths to decentralized, cycle-oriented wastewater management – and thus to the sustainable use of a resource that connects us all.<\/p>\n
