The Office of Hydrocommons

The Office of Hydrocommons is an interdisciplinary and interartistic program that focuses on climate and social change in relation to water and the body. Informed by the properties of water’s liquidity, the endeavor unfolds in different manifestations: an exhibition, an international artist residency, a series of weekly public events, and the Research Office. “Hydroresearchers” from different fields, such as the arts, marine biology, agronomy, urbanism, sports, and activism, are invited to participate in the program. The Office of Hydrocommons is actualized following an invitation by the ATOPOS cvc artistic director Vassilis Zidianakis to the independent curator Eleni Riga in the context of #ΟccupyAtopos.
