ABOAGORA Pre-Symposium III: Water

ABOAGORA – Between Arts and Sciences invited Doctoral Candidates and Art students to investigate the shifting borders of water and land in the Pre-Symposium event in the Turku archipelago. The theme of ABOAGORA in 2020 was Water, while the Pre-Symposium focused on the significance of place in research and artistic practices. What are the different senses of place in the work of a researcher or an artist? What do we bring with us, take away and leave behind? How are our practices making their mark on the environment, and how does the environment affect our practices?
