21.11.2024 — Kikk

Organised by KIKK, the first Local Debate in Namur initiated a collaborative exploration of the city’s natural heritage, with a particular focus on the Sambre and Meuse rivers. The event brought together artists, geographers, students from ESA Saint-Luc’s urban space and heritage program, and local partners including le Delta Namur, the Sambre 2030 project, and the University of Namur (ILEE). Combining theoretical input with site-specific exploration, the workshop fostered creative exchange and interdisciplinary dialogue, with participants mapping local natural features and reflecting on interactions between water, landscape and urban development. This laid the foundation for the artistic project 'Fossilized Futures' by Robertina Šebjanič and Marco Barotti.
