SUMMARY:Embassy of the North Sea at Het HEM
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Anthropocene. To face this new era\, we will have to look in a radically different way at ourselves\, nature and the planet. What new forms of perception\, representation\, research and language do we need? What does it mean to live together in these times? What do our institutes look like? At the Embassy of the North Sea\, things\, animals and plants in and around the North Sea get a voice. In a programme with art\, scent\, sound\, conversations and rituals at Het HEM\, we share our research into the imagination and political representation of non-people such as cod\, sandbanks and plankton. Come\, learn\, listen\, play and swim in the Anthropocene. \nSwimming in the Anthropocene is a collaboration within Chapter 2WO Nicolás Jaar & Shock Forest Group\, 19 09 – 1 12 2019 in Het HEM. \nContributions by: Arita Baaijens\, Frank Bloem\, Gershwin Bonevacia\, Laura Burgers\, Jesper Buursink\, Axel Coumans\, Albert Faber\, Harpo ’t Hart\, Erik de Jong\, Theun Karelse\, Valerie van Leersum\, Anne van Leeuwen\, Eva Meijer\, Thijs Middeldorp\, Daphina Misiedjan\, Carmen Schabracq en Stef Veldhuis. The full programme will be published here soon. \n  \n\nHet HEM\, Warmperserij 1\, Zaandam ~ Admission: 10\,00 euro  ~  Register here  ~  Visit and accessibility \nThanks to: Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie\, Mondriaan Fonds en BankGiro Loterij Fonds

SUMMARY:Farewell to a geological era 
DESCRIPTION:The Holocene is coming to an end. It’s time to say goodbye to an epoch in which the North Sea and Dutch coastline were formed\, and enter a world in which humans have grown into a disruptive and formative force of geological proportions. Amid all the concern and fear\, the Embassy of the North Sea wants to create a moment for contemplation. In a farewell ritual\, we make space and time for reflection and personal stories\, letting the things we’re saying goodbye to speak for themselves. \n\nWith a.o: Abdelkader Benali\, Frank Bloem\, Eva Line de Boer\, Axel Coumans\, Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti\, Harpo ‘t Hart en Evanne Nowak \nDe Duif\, Prinsengracht 756\, Amsterdam \n\nAdmission: free ~ RSVP \n~ Thanks to: Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie\, Mondriaan Fonds en BankGiro Loterij Fonds

SUMMARY:Public events: ‘Listen to the Sea’
DESCRIPTION:North Sea Embassy takes the next step towards a sovereign sea in 2030 with three days of public events: ‘Listen to the Sea’ \nNorth Sea Embassy\n11\, 12 and 13 July\nEvent on the pier and beach at Scheveningen\nIn Stroom Den Haag\, Nutshuis\, Humanity House and Mauritshuis \nThe North Sea Embassy presents Listen to the Sea\, a series of events at various locations in The Hague and Scheveningen on 11\, 12 and 13 July. With this programme of lectures\, art\, tours and workshops\, the North Sea Embassy appeals to all our senses\, and to our sense of empathy. The aim is to learn to listen to the human and non-human voices in and around the North Sea\, as a first step on the road to 2030\, when the Embassy plans to present the North Sea as a separate political entity with the right to self-determination. With this target in mind\, we will start to listenand learn about all the life in and around the sea\, so that over the coming years we can learn to speak on behalf of and negotiate on behalf of the North Sea. \nDutch ‘poet laureate’ Tsead Bruinja to open proceedings\nOn Thursday 11 July\, the Dutch poet laureate Tsead Bruinja will baptize De Zeemondwith a poem dedicated to the North Sea. De Zeemond\, an artwork by Carmen Schabracq in the form of an ossicle\, will serve as the mouth and ear of the sea\, and also act as a recognizable beacon throughout the event. \nProgramme in Stroom\, Nutshuis\, Humanity House and Mauritshuis\nOn Thursday\, Stroom Den Haag is the venue for a presentation by cultural sociologist Ruben Jacobs based on his book Artonauten: Op expeditie in het Antropoceen (2018) and by anthropologist Ester Heiman. That same evening\, Jesper Buursink hosts a live radio show from the Nutshuis\, with as his guests a fisherman\, a biologist and a musician. On Friday\, Humanity House hosts a programme about  maritime law\, with lawyer and researcher Laura Burgers and Ombudsman for Future Generations Jan van de Venis. On Saturday\, Harpo ’t Hart is at Mauritshuis to lead a search for new seascapes. \nOn the hunt for colour\, scent\, sound and Godzilla\nIn addition\, tours and workshops for young and old take place over the three days. We will find out about the smells of the sea with Frank Bloem\, we will make new colour gradations of the North Sea with artist Valerie van Leersum\, and we will listen to underwater sound compositions by composer Stef Veldhuis. During a drawing workshop\, children will discover what it’s like to be a shrimp\, and we close the event with a press conference by Godzilla. This ancient sea monster not only looks back in time but also considers her own future and that of humankind. Moreover\, on this one occasion she is willing to take some questions from the press. \nSee the whole programme here (in Dutch). \nThe North Sea Embassy\nThe North Sea Embassy was set up on 1 June 2018 at Lange Voorhout 19 in The Hague\, on the basis of the principle that ‘the see belongs to itself’. It gives a voice to things\, plants\, animals and people in and around the North Sea. The Embassy views the North Sea as a political partner\, with a constituency that stretches from France to Norway\, and from the seabed to the atmosphere. From microscopically tiny users such as plankton\, to large users such as people and whales. \nInitiators and partners\nThe group working on the North Sea Embassy consists of a three-person board\, a team of organizers\, a team of designers\, scientists and artists\, two working groups with about ten members\, and a varied group of individuals\, including policy-makers. All these people are affiliated with various organizations such as Artis Zoo\, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management\, the Ombudsman for Future Generations\, the Academy of Theatre Amsterdam\, and various universities and colleges of higher education in Amsterdam\, Eindhoven\, Tilburg and Wageningen. The activities for 2019 are supported by the Creative Industries Fund\, Mondriaan Fund\, Fonds1818 and Bank Giro Loterij Fonds. \n||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\nNote for the editors: for more information or photographs\, or to contact representatives of the North Sea\, please get in touch with Christiane Bosman at christiane@ambassadevandenoordzee.nl or 06 – 24 11 04 19.

SUMMARY:Embassy of The North Sea 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of the North Sea strives for such emancipation of non-humans: to see phytoplankton\, gas fields and bacteria as full-fledged members of society. What are the interests of harbour porpoises? What does a hermit crab consider its territory? And how does water see the future? The Embassy researches such interests through art\, science and experience. \nIn 2019 we will be listening to the North Sea. We will use hydrophones and underwater noise data\, but will also inventorise the scents of the sea\, the sounds of the sea and the many telling stories that the sea holds. The Embassy of the North Sea attempts to build a more inclusive political system with collectives of humans and non-humans.
