description This article confronts the problems affecting the contemporary hydrosphere by proposing the global need to fairer, more empathic and sustainable water cultures. The objectives of the text are: 1. Theorize the hydrocommons as a conceptual framework for curatorial practices that can contribute to this task by creating public platforms that depart from artistic practices, interdisciplinary research, and engagement activities; 2. Demonstrate through curatorial projects by the international network entre—ríos how these principles have informed artist residencies and collaborative processes. The methodology comprises a discussion of “liquid ecologies” (Blackmore & Gómez, 2020) as a critical tool to think the entanglements of bodies of water with diverse historical and contemporary forms of ecological degradation, socioenvironmental conflicts and cognitive injustice. Next, it proposes the “hydrocommons” as a term capable of coining and imagining more conscientious and empathic dynamics and ways of relating through water, through an assemblage of multidisciplinary perspectives that sociopolitical, epistemological, legal, and aesthetic dimensions to this emergent critical-imaginative a language. The second part of the article explains how the curatorial hypotheses of entre—ríos emerged out of my research into “hydropower” and the hydrocommons, the curatorial turn toward ecological agendas, and artist residency projects I organised at the University of Essex. Finally, the article describes two collaborative curatorial projects by entre—ríos to detail in situ and digital dynamics activated to instigate critical and sensory connections to the problematics shaping bodies of water in Latin America. The article closes with a brief overview of the conceptual cornerstones of hydrocommons cultures and a reflection on challenges facing this emerging field.

Este artículo responde a los problemas de la hidrósfera contemporánea planteando la necesidad global de imaginar culturas de agua más justas, empáticas y sostenibles. Los objetivos del texto son: 1. Teorizar lo hidrocomún (the hydrocommons) como marco conceptual para prácticas curatoriales que pueden contribuir a esta tarea al crear plataformas de encuentro a través de las prácticas artísticas, la investigación interdisciplinar, y actividades de socialización; 2. Demostrar a través de proyectos curatoriales de la red internacional entre—ríos cómo estos principios materializaron en residencias de artistas y procesos colaborativos. La metodología comprende el planteamiento de las “ecologías líquidas” (Blackmore y Gómez, 2020) como herramienta crítica para pensar los enmarañamientos de los cuerpos de agua con diversas formas de degradación ecológica, conflictos socioambientales e injusticia cognitiva históricas y contemporáneas. Luego propone “lo hidrocomún” como término capaz de acuñar e imaginar dinámicas y relaciones más conscientes y empáticas articuladas a través de las aguas, a partir del ensamblaje de enfoques multidisciplinares que ofrecen dimensiones sociopolíticas, epistemológicas, legales, y estéticas a ese lenguaje crítico-imaginativo emergente. La segunda parte del artículo explica cómo las hipótesis curatoriales de entre—ríos surgieron de mis investigaciones acerca del “hidropoder” y de lo hidrocomún, el giro curatorial hacia agendas ecológicas, y proyectos de residencia de artistas convocadas por la autora en la University of Essex. Finalmente, describe dos proyectos de colaboración curatorial de entre—ríos para detallar dinámicas presenciales y digitales puestas en acción para incentivar conexiones críticas y sensibles a las problemáticas que atraviesan los cuerpos de agua en América Latina. El artículo cierra con un resumen de los ejes conceptuales de las culturas hidrocomunes y una reflexión sobre los desafíos para ese campo emergente. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
