Confluence of European Water Bodies 2026

For four days, rivers, lakes, lagoons, glaciers, seas and wetlands from across Europe will gather to explore a set of shared questions: How can we live with water differently? What responsibilities emerge when we recognise aquatic ecosystems as living entities? How do we build cultures of care around water?

This year's edition unfolds across four locations in Berlin: FLUSSBAD Campus, SPORE Initiative, Spreepark Art Space and Floating University Berlin. Over four days, participants will gather through workshops, performances, collective meals, rituals, listening sessions, artistic interventions, public conversations and a multispecies parliament. The programme also features 
a keynote by renowned hydrofeminist philosopher and cultural theorist Astrida Neimanis.
