AfterLand: integrating art and science for sustainable transformation in the Danube Delta

AfterLand is a multidisciplinary project that examines various situations and perspectives related to land and water territories by focusing on the ecological aspects of water and land. The project involves artists, researchers, scientists, and cultural professionals who present different viewpoints on land and water territories across ecological, social, and economic dimensions, situating them within specific contexts of time and space. The project employs diverse research methods, including practical explorations, art science collaboration, stakeholder workshops, and artistic representations, to foster positive change in the Danube Delta through the integration of art and science. The project’s research and artworks address significant issues such as land use, deforestation, fluids as alternatives to electronics, and the interaction between micro and macro views on wetlands. These efforts emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to ecological challenges and aim to offer insights for future policy recommendations, socio-economic development, and legal frameworks.
