Fictions-Science #10: Écouter les fleuves (Listening to Rivers)
In echo to Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha’s performance Tapajós, at a time when rivers dry up, overflow, silt up, or catch fire, their murmur becomes a call. Markers of geological time, sentinels of ecological transitions, bearers of stories, they are both living environments and witnesses of a planetary tipping point. Their vulnerability, increased by human actions, reveals deep interdependencies between realms, cultures, and timescales. How can we reconnect with these moving entities and hear their messages? At the crossroads of artistic creation, Earth sciences, environmental law, and sound listening, this roundtable listens to the rivers.

Fictions-Science
With the Fictions-Science encounters, research and creation engage in dialogue to address contemporary challenges. The renovation of the Centre Pompidou gives this season a momentum of questioning: where and how will we live tomorrow? In response to the harmful effects of human activities on natural environments, innovative spaces, whether dreamed or renewed, are being built. On the ground, the ingenuity and creativity of researchers and artists are sharpened by many collective issues (law, health, housing, or ecology).
