Interdisciplinary Strategies for Soil Recuperation
Within the framework of the Perma/Sois program, we are presenting two film screenings with the participating artists, complemented by a curated seaweed and oyster bar by Maya Minder and Ewen Chardronnet.
Marina Otero Verzier presents the film from her installation Compost Computacional, recently awarded a Special Mention at the S+T+ARTS Prize 2025, critically examining the environmental cost of digital infrastructures; and the Norwegian premiere of Umi No Oya (ウミノヲヤ) – The Mother of the Sea by Maya Minder & Ewen Chardronnet and the Norwegian premiere of Umi No Oya (ウミノヲヤ) – The Mother of the Sea by Maya Minder & Ewen Chardronnet traces the legacy of British phycologist Kathleen Drew-Baker and her discovery of red algae life cycles, which transformed nori cultivation in postwar Japan.

The seminar also pays tribute to Shigeatsu Hatakeyama (1943–2024) — oyster farmer, environmentalist, and author of “The Forest in Love with the Sea.” His life’s work reminds us that the vitality of marine life begins inland, in the forests and rivers that feed the sea.
A seaweed & oyster bar during the screening session continues this reflection through taste — celebrating the symbiosis between ecosystems, species, and sensibilities from the hands of Maya Minder and Ewen Chardronnet.
