Can ports — once gateways of exchange — be reimagined as porous spaces for inter-species cohabitation? POROUS invites artists, scientists, technologists, and citizens to collectively explore this question through immersive experiences, discursive conversations, and creative experiments.

Curation: María Montero Sierra – TBA21–Academy
