Eufònic’s Co-Vision Local Debate brought together 51 participants from artistic, scientific, environmental, agricultural, cultural and local community backgrounds to explore the relationship between art, science and the natural heritage of the Ebro Delta. Using a fishbowl methodology, the discussion addressed environmental challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, water management, habitat degradation and sustainable tourism. The event also explored how art-science collaborations, participatory practices and community engagement can contribute to greater awareness and understanding of environmental change in the territory.

Held from 10–13 July 2025 across venues in Amposta and Deltebre, the second Co-Vision Local Debate brought together approximately 121 participants, including artists, scientists, natural-heritage experts, local policy representatives, cultural professionals, local residents, students and children. The main conversation, moderated by Antònia Folguera, brought together artists Carlos Martorell, Jaume Vidal and Lauren Moffatt with scientist Rosa Trobajo (IRTA) to explore hybrid ecologies, the relationship between human and non-human species, and changing understandings of concepts such as “invasive species” and “natural balance.” The programme was complemented by a networking event, a children's workshop led by Marta Barceló and a sound walk with João de Nóbrega Pupo, extending the exploration through social, intergenerational and sensory formats. The activities provided a creative testing ground for the development of Cartografiar l’invisible, an augmented-reality work exploring microscopic life and ecological transformation in the Ebro Delta.
