Coexistence in water - learning with algae and axolotls

What do the algae in the Müggelsee and the axolotl in the laboratory have to do with living together in Berlin?
We would like to explore this (and other) questions with you at the start of our event series “WasserWissen | Parcours”, an interdisciplinary knowledge exchange between science and society, on December 6, 2024. The explorations of the Berlin hydrosphere start at the Berlin Museum of Decorative Arts through the exhibition “Lygophilia: Aquatic Life” by Robertina Šebjanič. The exhibition is inspired by the endangered axolotl and other aquatic creatures and explores the theme of more-than-human coexistence in water.
With the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SPK), we invite you to spend an evening exploring diverse perspectives from science, art, and urban society on coexistence in Berlin's blue-green urban space.
We look forward to contributions from the artists Cammack Lindsey and Sarah Hermanutz, the scientist Dr. India Mansour and the curators Dr. Claudia Banz and Christian de Lutz on the significance of aquatic ecosystems in Berlin, the challenges of the urban hydrosphere and the protection of endangered species.

Background
The WasserWissen | Parcours, together with the WasserWissen | dialog series of the TD Lab and the exhibition on water research in Berlin, which opens in the Humboldt Labor in October 2025, forms a new focus of the Berliner University Alliance (BUA). The series 'WasserWissen in Berlin' promotes a dynamic, multidirectional exchange of knowledge about Berlin's blue-green infrastructure and brings together researchers from all four universities with Berliners, communities and experts to research and learn together.
The WasserWissen | Parcours promotes local and global knowledge about water in various exchange formats and interactive events – at cultural locations and along Berlin's waterways. In line with the Berlin University Alliance's (BUA) commitment to socially relevant research, WasserWissen aims to share and jointly develop knowledge about the role of water with the urban society. This is intended to address key questions regarding the city's sustainable future and its urban hydrosphere's essential function.
