Welcome to an Open Lecture on Zoöp - an organisational model for cooperation between human and nonhuman life that safeguards the interests of all zoë (Greek for 'life'). The zoöp model makes the interests of nonhuman life part of organisational decision-making. 

In this Open Lecture, participants will be guided by Klaas Kuitenbrouwer and Wietske Nutma from the Nieuwe Instituut - the Zoöp team - and familiarised with the practicalities of Zoöp, learning how to incorporate the voices and interests of non-human life into the planning and decision-making of any organisation.

We hope that all participants, through this Open Lecture, will be supported in their respective work with strengthening marine ecosystems and human-sea relations.

Workshop hosts
The Open Lecture is hosted by Klaas Kuitenbrouwer and Wietske Nutma from the Nieuwe Instituut, in collaboration with Malmö University, the Marine Education Center in Malmö and the Forum for Social Innovation Sweden. Together we are partners in the EU-project Bauhaus of the Seas Sails. You can read more about the speakers and organizers below.

How can I attend?
The Open Lecture will take place in English, on-site at Naturum Öresund, Ribersborgsstigen 4, 216 44 Limhamn.

Speakers

Klaas Kuitenbrouwer
Director, Zoönomic Institute

Klaas Kuitenbrouwer is the director of the Zoönomic Institute and the initiator of Zoöp, he is also a senior researcher in regenerative practices at het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam and teaches theory at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. He studied history but has always worked at the intersections of art, design, technology and ecology. In his work he is drawn to the frictions between different knowledge practices: technological, artistic, legal, organisational, scientific, and more-than-human. In recent years, he researched and curated, among other programs: Garden of Machines (2015), Gardening Mars (2017), Bot Club and the Neuhaus Temporary Academy for more-than-human knowledge (2019). This led to the initiation of the Zoöp project.

Bauhaus of the Seas Sails is part of the EU's New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative to promote a new maritime culture - a culture where the city and people are part of the sea. The vision for Bauhaus of the Seas Sails is to explore and demonstrate how culture and inclusion contribute to this.

The project involves seven countries Portugal, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Sweden. A total of 18 partners representing local authorities, universities, and civil society organizations. You can find all partners here.

Bauhaus of the Seas Sails in Sweden is run by Malmö University, Forum for Social Innovation Sweden,  and the Marine Education Center. Together we constitute project leaders in social innovation, nature guides, marine experts, and researchers in participatory design as well as design for sustainability.
