What are ecological networks and what significance do they have for an ethical future? And (how) can we see ourselves as part of ecological networks? Using the example of seagrass (Zostera marina), you will deal with this topic in a very practical way.

Through haptic explorations and handicraft (historical and modern) techniques such as weaving, braiding and pressing, you will not only learn about the materiality of seagrass, but also about the underlying connections of our ecosystems.

What role can seagrass play - for nature as well as for the marine cultivation of the future? For local production, architecture and modern sustainability?

In our workshop series "Ideas Lab for the Future of Agriculture" with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can collect ideas for the future of agriculture with us! Immerse yourself in the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can contribute to making agriculture and land use more sustainable. Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you will learn how to make donuts more sustainable with the help of AI or produce fertilizer from urine. You will bring old salt extraction techniques into the present with 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest and develop smart warning systems for the forest. Experimenting with seaweed, you will discover an ecosystem between marine cultivation, research and craftsmanship. Find out more about the workshop series here.
