Piraeus - Athens

How does an aquaponic farm really work? What are its benefits and limits? Paul Leroy (Aquacaux) and Arnaud Pigeon (Symbi0se) share their field insights: fish and plant production, economic viability, technical constraints, and the role of aquaponics in the food transition. It's also a chance to follow the evolution of the Symbiose project, from Hangar Zéro to a future farm in Normandy—a place of production, education, and innovation all at once.

Microplastics are everywhere. Invisible to the naked eye, they travel from rivers to the sea, accumulate in estuaries, and make their way into the heart of living organisms. But how can we reveal what we cannot see? This talk offers a journey into the realm of the infinitely small, introducing a remarkable ally to researchers: Eurytemora affinis, a tiny crustacean barely a millimetre long. A true sentinel of estuaries, it allows scientists to decipher the effects of micro- and nanoplastics on ecosystems before their consequences even become visible.

Founded in 2017, the association promotes contemporary poetry rooted in everyday life and brings together some twenty poets and slam artists. For this event, it presents a selection of texts performed as slam poetry, offering a poetic take on the city of Le Havre — its docks, its light, its people. An invitation to rediscover the 'cité océane' through the words and voices of those who live it every day.

A multidisciplinary artist and artistic director of the EKHO collective, Moumout stands out through a holistic vision of his art, spanning both visual and sonic creation.

A workshop to introduce participants to the D-TERRE card game. A tool to raise awareness about the challenges of ecological and societal transition, designed for all audiences.

Géraldine Lefebvre, director of the MuMa, will speak during the festival about the work of Jean Francis Auburtin. Fascinated by the seabed and coastal landscapes, Auburtin developed a singular vision of the sea, somewhere between naturalist observation and Symbolism, one that resonates directly with Le Havre's maritime heritage.

In Athena’s Antennas, Chrysanthi Koumianaki, in collaboration with two performers, proposes a series of ephemeral public sculptures. Turning her gaze to the rooftops of Athens’ apartment buildings as the city’s edges, she imagines the buildings as bodies and their rooftops and balconies as limbs. The industrial equipment found there transforms into an evolving form of public sculpture, like a peculiar parasitic forest or an open-air sculpture gallery. Satellite dishes are translated into wicker hats and become props within an evolving stage setting.
