Workshop Water justice
Workshop Water justice
Workshop with artist Paula Almirón and political educator Evelyn Linde
Water will be a key issue in the future as climate change progresses. The existing water crises will spread and worsen in the future. The workshop with artist Paula Almirón and Berlin water activists combines activist and artistic as well as international and local perspectives: What does water justice mean? What is the state of Berlin and Brandenburg’s water? What means do we have in the fight for climate justice?
Paula Almirón, born in Buenos Aires and based in Brussels, works at the intersection of choreography and writing, exploring the ongoing intra-action between the social, the spiritual and the geological realms. Since 2019, her work has focused on “water choreographies”, with projects like Always Coming Hole (2021) and The River and The Devil (2025). Almirón collaborates with Wouter De Raeve on I Build My Language With Rocks in Brussels’ Northern Quarter and co-coordinated M33, a space supporting local neighborhood movements, while curating Swamp Sacrifices, a program centered on non-productivity and the Brussels swamp.
Evelyn Linde is committed to water justice in Berlin. Whether it's the Tesla factory in Grünheide or coal mining in Lusatia, she wants to show how local struggles for the protection of water in Berlin, Brandenburg and the Andes are connected regionally and globally. She does power-critical educational work and researched lithium mining in Bolivia in her master's thesis.
