Please join us for a free screening event produced by Port Futures & Social Logistics, a speculative platform dedicated to issues of art and urbanism, international energy transition, and geo-cultural flux. In 2022, PFSL01 brought together work from an international group of artists offering atypical planetary visualizations.
PFSL#02 unfolds as a time-based exhibition—a series of individually created moving-image works by more than twenty artists from around the world. These short films act as testimonies: encounters between artists and remarkable situations in their immediate environments. Together, they form a dispersed exhibition that moves between geographies, perspectives, and temporalities, inviting viewers to witness the world in motion.
Developed through an open call, PFSL#02 invited artists to consider, through the lenses of urgency and circularity, how we currently view rivers, wetlands, and the sea within the complexity of real-time observation. The question was never meant as a fixed framework, but as a provocation—to look closely, pause, and record what arises from attentive observation. What emerges are visual fragments that, taken together, form a global conversation on ecology, place, and perception.

Free / donations welcomed
Port Futures and Social Logistics is led by an international team of artists, urbanists, and researchers from the Port Journeys and Hyper Cultural Passengers networks. The platform organizes public programming, develops and disseminates videos from artists and researchers, and hosts a growing archive of commissioned work. We are dedicated to fostering dialogue and collaboration across disciplines and geographies, with an emphasis on experimental approaches to art, urbanism, and the planetary logistics of energy and material exchange.
PFSL02 will travel during late 2025 through early 2026 to venues including the Audio Foundation (Auckland, NZ), Zou-No-Hana Terrace (Yokohama, JP), HyCp Veddel (Hamburg, DE), WEP (Groningen, NL), Harvard Graduate School of Design (Cambridge, MA), and ATHICA (Athens, GA).
