This Friday 8 July, FieldARTS screens ~~~~ (2021) by Sami Hammana – a film in 4 acts that observes the complicity of contemporary maritime technology and colonial violence. Accompanied by a roundtable discussion with Sonic Acts: sonicacts.com/agenda

For FieldARTS 2022 Lance wants to explore the boundaries of positioning, where he would place himself into and listen in the space of these natural beings; to be subjected by anthropogenic noises.

FieldARTS day 3 of field methods: marine lab, ocean, mud flats, ship yards, sand dunes.

We’ve had an immersive and turbulent two days on Texel Island, tasting and testing the brackish waters of seaweed cultivation @NIOZnieuws sea research centre. Now off the ferry and headed to IJmuiden and the Port of Amsterdam!

Our closing event is tonight in Central Amsterdam! We're slightly sunburnt, our notebooks are full of sand, & our methods are distinctly brackish. Join us from 5pm for screenings, talks, & drinks at the Doelenzaal room at the Singel Library. Details at fieldarts.net/roundtable

Upcoming confluence of FieldARTS-adjacent friends in Sweden this December, looking at practice-based methods in the context of grounded research traditions & struggles for environmental justice. Cfp: regenerative-energy-communities.org/groundings

Doing this in Amsterdam on May 19 - with lots of comrades in a squatted church in the middle of the Port of Amsterdam’s petroleumhaven. What a dream. Tickets below 👇

What a festival of critical #logistics tonight at the artist village Ruigoord, enclosed by the Port of Amsterdam and a stone's throw away from the world's biggest gasoline terminal. Keynote by the relentless Charmaine Chua: Logistics in past & present aims at taming the unruly.

Such a blast talking with jacob and @miriammthsn about logistics, these two books I’m taking forever to write, and counterlogistical struggle
