Acoustic River Ecologies Workshop: Building and Listening with EMF Microphones – Thursday, June 18
In this workshop guided by artist and researcher Minji Kim participants assemble their own Electromagnetic Field Microphone (EMF). From the Gorkum Museum in the historical fortress town of Gorcum, we then set out to register sub-sonic phenomena at the edges of the big rivers – the highly symbolical point for The Netherlands where Maas and Waal flow together at Gorinchem.
While inaudible to human ears these subsonic vibrations we will record have a tremendous influence on the living environment in and around the rivers.
Het Gorcums Museum,
Grote Markt 17, Gorinchem
Thursday June 18, 13.00 – 17.00

Acoustic River Ecologies workshop
Conference The Design of Regeneration
De Chocoladefabriek – Steenlandzaal
Klein Amerika 20, Gouda
https://groenehartbiennale.nl/conference
This one-day conference on Saturday, June 20 consists of two thematic blocks: ‘Reviving River Ecologies’ and ‘Bioregional Finance & Alternatives’. The conference provides an opportunity to explore issues surrounding ecological regeneration in depth, both together and in discussion with Dutch and international specialists.
Part I: Reviving River Ecologies
10.00 – 13.00
In the morning program until lunch, we explore how ecological regeneration can be designed within sharply different contexts (geographical, political, cultural). What new perspectives can be outlined here? How to deal with the complexity of entangled ecological, economic, technological, and political systems?
The presentations focus these questions on markedly different river environments and their specific ecologies: the Dnipro riverbed in Ukraine, the quay walls of the Maas river in central Rotterdam, and the acoustic environment of the big rivers at Gorinchem, where Maas and Waal flow together.
With: Svitlana Usychenko & Fulco Treffers (Dnipro Integrated Vision), Pierre Oskam, and Minji Kim.
Part II: Bioregional Finance and Alternatives
14.00 – 17.00
The afternoon program poses the question how usable and effective financial capacities can be developed to put ecological regenerative methods and principles into practice?
Issues of ‘scale’ play a major role in this: Should existing financial structures be ‘bent’ to bioregionally specific (agro-ecological) ways of working – as advocated by proponents of ‘Bioregional Finance’? Or should alternative models be developed instead, on a smaller scale, rooted in the local context and communities? More generally we want to explore how ‘ecological value’ can be expressed in terms of a shared economy for all forms of life?
With: David Bollier, Natasha Hulst, Klaas Kuitenbrouwer, and Rob Lubberink.
