PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
Collective Feeding
Musik Performance, 25. – 27. Januar, 17:00 - 17:45, Rio Complex

Robin Meier composes this performance cycle dedicated to the wild birds of Slave Island—crows, mynahs and many other bird species that roam the skies between this fast transforming neighbourhood and the seashore. With pre-recorded elements drawn from directly the ocean and live musicians, Collective Feeding unfolds as an interaction between birds and humans to engage with questions of migratory passage and maritime pasts through acoustic improvisation and shared knowledge.
CLIMAVORE: On Mangroves & Mudflats
Performative Dinner-Installation, 26. Januar, 20:00 – 21:30, Rio Complex

Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual & Alon Schwabe) is a duo of spatial practitioners based out of London with links to Spain and Canada. Since 2015, they are working on multiple iterations of the long-term site-specific CLIMAVORE project that sets out to envision seasons of food production and consumption that react to man-induced climatic events and landscape alterations. On the occasion of Colomboscope 2019, a dining set revolves around a mangrove system, where participants are invited to sit among the tree branches, stilt and knee roots. A CLIMAVORE menu has been developed to reflect on the new man-made seasons we are confronted with in order to speculate on other futures for coastal inhabitation.
Smellarchive
Workshop für Kinder, 26. – 29. Januar, 15:00 – 18:00, Rio Complex

Sissel Tolaas is a smell researcher, artist, chemist and smell theorist whose practice bridges several disciplines by focusing on smell as a way of detecting and corresponding with the planet and diverse communities. Smellarchive_children’s workshops will take the nose as primary tool while addressing sentient knowledges of the Indian Ocean, the dangers of pollutants and marine resources as a shared heritage.
It’s not the Seas that Scares me
Auftaktveranstaltung mit Künstlern, 26. Januar, 18:30 – 19:15, Barefoot Gallery
Abdul Halik Azeez, Hira Nabi & Ranjit Kandalgaonkar In Konversation mit Aziz Sohail, Moderation durch Natasha Ginwala.

SCROLL is a publishing based experimental curatorial practice that investigates paper as a medium of exhibition making with generative possibilities. This issue ‘It is Not the Seas that Scare Me’ is created in collaboration with Colomboscope to investigate the oceanic frontier as a jumping off point to examine various streams including exchange, economies, colonization, sexuality and the surreal.
The Ocean is on Air TBA21—Academy Convening
Künstlergespräch, Musik, „Geruchsforschung“, Vortrag und Filmvorführung, 25. Januar, 16:30 – 19:30, Goethe-Institut
© Colomboscope
This convening broadcasts the ocean as a sphere of sentient belongings, responding to different eventualities from sinking islands to deep sea mining. Approaching the water horizon through coastal scents, queer creatures and contributing a feminist reading to maritime narratives. How may we access the afterlives of shipping and labouring bodies circulating in hidden accounts of sea infrastructure? We conclude with a sonic recital journeying across travel routes as shared languages of the Indian Ocean defy the divides of geographic boundaries.
Conceived by Chus Martínez in collaboration with Natasha Ginwala and Julieta Aranda

Taste Karaththé
Temporäre Installation,25. Januar, 10:00 – 17:00, Rio Complex
© Colomboscope
Artist Firi Rahman responds to urgent shifts occurring within Colombo and the lived impact of gentrification in Slave Island. For Colomboscope, Rahman addresses the degradation occurring within water-based ecosystems over longer time phases as a result of rapid urban growth and commercial infrastructural development. These transitions are catalogued in Taste Karaththé via generational oral histories and communal testimonies in an animated public installation that is on the move between Rio Complex and Galle Face Green.
