Oder Hive: A River to Touch, Listen and Feel

A fusion of science, art and sensory experience! FrauVonDa//'s interactive installation takes you on a fascinating journey into the Oder River ecosystem. The river not only forms the natural border between Germany and Poland. It is also a symbol of shared European heritage and cross-border cooperation to protect an endangered habitat. 

Experience the underwater world of the Oder from a completely new, multi-sensory perspective. Touch a vibrating, sounding, impressive metal object that immerses your senses in the river's fish habitat. Feel and hear the sounds and voices of the Oder – and experience listening and feeling merge to tell a unique story that creates a shared awareness of the importance of this unique habitat and its creatures. 

The stand will also showcase the scientific research of the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) following the man-made environmental disaster in 2022.
