Research: Zoöp in Venice
23 & 24 September / Ocean Space

In collaboration with TBA21–Academy’s Ocean Space and We Are Here Venice, a public research programme makes a baseline assessment for a Zoöp in Venice. The research follows the steps of the Zoönomic Year Cycle that Zoöps apply in order to transform their operation into a practice that supports the quality of life of their multispecies community.
The sessions will lead to the identification of possible interventions to improve the health of the Zoöp in Venice. These will be further studied and developed by students of Design Academy Eindhoven over the following months.
