Beatriz Waldmann
What has NABU done in the Lake Tana region in Ethiopia? Let´s talk about climate crisis, circular economy and reforesting!
On the occasion of the World Water Day Beatriz Waldmann will be presenting the work that NABU has done in the Lake Tana region in Ethiopia, and also give an interesting input about invasive species (i.e. the water hyacinth), climate crisis, circular economy (recycling) and reforesting. Beatriz has specialised in international water resources management, and is interested in everything that has to do with environmental protection and sustainability. She is currently a project manager at NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) and coordinates the project "Water for Life", in the Lake Tana watershed, in Ethiopia. Before that, she worked as a research assistent for the United Nations in Germany and as a consultant for water issues in a Swiss company in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Location: Gather Town “Information” showcases the threats created by the appalling misuse of modern technology in an ideological fight legitimized by the false dichotomy of freedom vs. security. It shifts the representational power from discourse dominating white men towards the expertise of women and people of colour.

Location: Gather Town One’s own identity is constructed in dialogue with others. Hence, can one speak for oneself about oneself? This video creates a portrait emerging from messages of others, which have been captured as screenshots over the course of the last few years by the artist: An incomplete mashup of chats on Grindr & advices on Co-Star.
