Liquid Structures
Liquid Structures is a three-day festival programme of video screenings, sound performances and talks in the public space, organised within the scope of Batumi Urban Agenda: the research project founded in direct response to the urban and social crisis in the city.
About
At the Batumi Pier, more than 20 Georgian and international artists present works that resonate with this context while also contributing new perspectives rooted in different localities.
Through films, site-specific installations, and talks, Liquid Structures explores the sea as an economic, ecological, social, and symbolic resource which connects and divides, a mirror reflecting the city and its struggles. Over three days, the programme dives 'deeper’ into these themes; from what is visible above the surface – urban transformation, industries and their impact on communities, to what resides beneath – natural resources, forgotten wrecks of the past and invisible transactions of the present, and finally, to what hides deep beneath the seabed – the geological formations and phenomena on the more-than-human scale, but also the myth and the subliminal.
