“Multispecies Neighborhoods in Urban Sea Areas,” concerns the interface between art, marine ecology, landscape architecture, and urban development. The explorative action research is motivated from a need to act, and to help people discover a hitherto invisible landscape: creating awareness of its spatial qualities, colours, the smell of low tide and the myriad of lifeforms within this symbiosis of sea and shore. The aim is to expand the horizon of those building into this watery world. With a desire to co-create diverse and liveable urban bluescapes, the work has emerged in- and through a state of wonder.

HAV evokes the spatiality of the undersea landscape together with the colours and lifeforms within this hidden, fluid realm. HAV has many co-creators: barnacles and marine biologists, porcelain, sugar kelp, saltwater, ceramicists, crabs, clay, annelids and many more.
HAV was orchestrated by artist and landscape architect Elin T. Sørensen as part of her doctoral project “Multispecies Neighborhoods in Urban Sea Areas,” the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, NMBU.
Curated by Annike Flo and staged at the Norwegian BioArt Arena NOBA Vitenparken Campus Ås 2020.
