Water Remembers Us: A Making and Writing Workshop

A making and writing workshop which invites you to reimagine memory not as a human device through which to reconcile with nature, but as an elemental force. 1.30 – 6 pm Friday 10 April 2026.

1.30 – 6 pm Friday 10 April 2026 Dundee Contemporary Arts 152 Nethergate, Dundee DD1 4EA In this making and writing workshop, Natasha Lushetich and Philippe Lynes invite you to reimagine memory not as a human device through which to reconcile with nature, but rather from the ground—or the unfathomable oceanic depths—up. Drawing on the energetic propensities of water (as force, insulator or conductor) and its temporal, substantial and material aspects, we will seek new ways to articulate water by way of fundamentally ahuman processes of memory. All (adult) ages welcome Free but registration is necessary by 2 April. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/water-remembers-us-tickets-1984266542644 This workshop is part of the AHRC-funded ENERGY: A Philosophy of Practice project at the University of Dundee. Natasha Lushetich is an interdisciplinary theorist with a background in the arts and Professor of Contemporary Art, Media & Theory at the University of Dundee. Her research focuses on intermedia; critical mediality; global art; the status of sensory experience in cultural knowledge; biopolitics; performativity and complexity. Philippe Lynes is a researcher with the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Dundee, and a visiting scholar with the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at the University of Glasgow.
