"Goethe wrote: "A host of thoughts are born and developed by the general culture of the mind, just as branches blossom in spring. Blühen, which means "blossoming" in German, gives its name to this event dedicated to cultural ecology, organized by the Goethe-Institut de Nancy with the support of Aésio Mutuelle. It's an invitation to discover the ideas, emotions and stories that re-enchant our relationship with the living.

At the heart of this second edition, American artist Katherine Ball explores water as a living material and artistic medium. Through collective performances, sensitive installations and ecological experiments, she invites us to reconsider our relationship with this vital resource, in crisis as much as in power. The day will conclude with a unique culinary experience: a dinner-performance conceived by Paula Erstmann, where water becomes narrative, flavor and sensation. A moment to slow down, feel, be inspired and imagine together new stories for the world to come.
This event is part of the Nuit des Idées 2025, organized by the Institut Français d'Allemagne, and will take place under the theme "Nous sommes la rivière / Der Fluss sind wir".
