FrauVonDa presents: THE Å//A UNIVERSE – hidden songlines of the baltic sea 2024

We are glad to announce that the project will be presented both in Mariehamn / Åland
(Sjöfartsmuseum – museum ship »Pommern«) and again in Berlin (Villa Elisabeth).
The dates and details will be announced soon.

Meanwhile, enjoy the concert excerpt from the BALTIC SONGLINES premiere at Spreehalle Berlin, September 2023:

New work In Progress: ODER HIVE

FrauVonDa is moving away from the definition of the Oder as a border, and contemplates
the river as a connecting body of water – towards a river community of three nations and
as a uniquely diverse habitat for animals and plants.

The OderHive project is being developed in close cooperation with the Leibniz Institute
of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries in Berlin (IGB) and in further collaboration
with the Husö Marine Biological Station (Åland). With OderHive, FrauVonDa is responding
to the IGB’s request to artistically accompany their research on the Oder after the
poisoning catastrophe 2022, as well as their participation in the European sturgeon
reintroduction project.

Similar to the Baltic Sea project »The Å//A Universe«, the OderHive is conceived as
a modular project in exchange with diverse Oder inhabitants / neighboring residents,
scientists, environmental activists and collaborating artists. With an extensive
multi-disciplinary research aiming at biological facts, oral history, everyday life
and resistance, introspection into non-human life and the utopia of a borderless
community of ‚response_ability‘.

More info coming soon!
