Women of the seven seas

Crew

1. Hamburger Seefrauenparade / Shefarers' Parade Hamburg

On August 22, 2021, the First Shefarers' Parade of Hamburg took place. A network of around 100 shefarers, artists, activists and researchers gathered on boats and ships in the port of Hamburg to show female presence on the water and make the demands of shefarers heard: stop the exclusion of females from maritime life! stop discrimination of female staff in maritime industries! Reclaim the port as a public space! Support female artists and researchers to develop new hydrarchical ways of urban life!

What water does to our brains

The water, like any of the larger intangible un-holdable natural systems --like sky and weather, will teach you things that will take you forever to learn on land.
