Still Here

For three years, Natural Contract Lab has been walking-with the Szenne and its people, fishes, stones, clay… to remember its waters and weave an alliance of care for the recognition of its rights. The group organizes river gatherings by acknowledging the whole river from its source in Naast to the bifurcation in the Zennegat of Mechelen. Are you curious? Join a ‘walking-with’ via the registration form.

Natural Contract Lab is a transdisciplinary artistic group and practice that aims to create a systemic dialogue with waters undergoing ecological transformations. As a body of care, NCL invites others to moments of 'walking-with' the river, water mourning circles, collective gestures of care, Agoras, river schools and other actions.
 

Practicalities:

• The start and end locations will be communicated after registration.
• The distance of the route is approximately 4 km.
• Accessibility: The process involves walking, sitting and immersion in the landscape. We walk slowly, paying attention to everyone's pace. Sometimes the subsurface is made of earth and changes with the weather or season. If you would like to receive more information or have specific needs in the field of mobility, do not hesitate to contact us in advance.
• Age: Everyone is welcome, including children and babies.
• Any questions? Contact nina@hiros.be.
