Raviv Ganchrow presenting Whale Refractions at default#26 – 21.10.2026, Den Haag

Ganchrow’s presentation will provide an occasion for delving into various iterations of hearing whale songs – opening geological dimensions of vocalization as well as links to 1970s environmentalism, Cold War ocean surveillance, and emerging interspecies cultural imaginations. ‘Songing Thalassic’ is an invitation to explore the spaces of situated vocalization, following entwined dynamics across biological, geological, and technological domains.

New research programme for 2026

The Cultural Agglomeration Zone (CAZ) project investigates the accumulation of cultural, historical, and environmental layers in Bahía Wulaia and Seno Ponsonby (in the Cape Horn archipelago), considering more than 7,000 years of occupation by seafaring nomads. In collaboration with the Austral University of Chile, the project will carry out an extensive study in the Ponsonby area during January and February 2026, with the aim of rethinking the current conception of human settlement in this territory and its historical interaction with the environment.
