Share your Water Expertise!
ON WATER opens up spaces and connects places. The various programmes show what knowledge about water is located in Berlin. For our On Water MAPPING, various artists and researchers have compiled stories, both big and small, about water in Berlin: to look at, listen to and visit.
For us, however, knowledge exchange always flows in several directions: that is why we would like to invite you, the curious visitors to this site, to share places where special knowledge about water can be found. Become part of WasserWissen in Berlin!

Artistic Mapping ‘Drippling through the City, Tracing Watery Infrastructures’ | Prof. Dr. Friederike Landau-Donnelly (*1989, she/her): Friederike is a political theorist, urban sociologist and cultural geographer. She is currently a visiting professor of cultural and social geography at Humboldt University in Berlin and is writing a monograph on conflictual museums in Canada and India. Among other things, she co-edited the handbook Kulturpolitik (2024), Konfliktuelle Kulturpolitik (2023) and [Un]Grounding – Post-Foundational Geographies (2021). Friederike writes poetry as #PoeticAcademic. The interdisciplinary urban and spatial researcher is fascinated by water as a liquid matter that strongly influences our individual and collective lives as a ‘water body’. The artistic mapping project ‘Dripping through the City, Tracing Watery Infrastructures’ consists of various analogue stations in Berlin's urban space as well as digital reflections on the role of water in our everyday lives – water as a resource, water as a threat, water as an object of memory, water as art. Enjoy exploring the city through water!
Soundwalk "Designing with the Planet" | Lucio Telles: The Riparian Struggles team, together with Brazilian artist and activist Lucio Telles, invites you to an English-language sound walk along the River Spree, during which letters to the River Saracura in São Paulo will be read aloud – a transnational audio walk that connects local and global struggles for water, memory and justice.
