On display at iMAL Brussels, 25.05—29.09.2024.
The Haunted Waters Bar is a growing collection of contaminated waters. Here, you'll find a menu featuring a variety of water samples from around the world, submitted by activists, scientists, swimmers, citizens, and friends. Some samples come from lakes, rivers, and the sea, while others are filled from the tap. While they may all look similar, each water is haunted by a multitude of ‘spirits’ telling different stories—stories that speak of the past, of decisions made by those in power, of struggles, accidents, wars, greed, and action.
Chemicals in water are not unlike ghosts – they haunt and alter beings and places, are often invisible to the naked eye, relate to historic injustice, and are trapped in places they were not meant to be. The complexity of chemical cocktails hinders research on their negative impact on health and the environment. The destruction of ecosystems and disruption of communities conjure these eerie beings into existence; the spirits have awakened!
How do we live with haunted waters?

SOS Climate Waterfront is an interdisciplinary project that aims to explore waterfronts in Europe that are facing climate change. The project collects different disciplines to create new strategies for sustainable solutions for infrastructure and urban planning in Europe.
Sea level rise, high tides, storms and floods enhance the vulnerability of urban waterfront territories. S.O.S. – Sustainable Open Solutions for European urban waterfronts is a project that brings together not only professionals, but also municipalities, stakeholders and citizens in pursuit of adaptation and contribution in combating climate change. The main purpose of the project is the use of common knowledge to build a sustainable environment for all who care about the waterfront urbanism and the future of the whole planet.
