Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told – that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture.

On June 20 physicist, oceanographer and BBC Science presenter Helen Czerski will join us in the floating festival heart for a lecture on the occasion of her brand new book Blue Machine: How The Ocean Works. In ‘Blue Machine’, Helen Czerski presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet.

Practical Info

• If you visit this program, it is not necessary to buy a separate admission ticket for the festival heart. A ticket for this program already gives you access to the floating festival heart.
• Please report to the welcome desk of the Rotterdam Architecture Month at the square in front of the Maassilo. Here, scan your ticket and receive a wristband that will grant you access to the program in the floating festival heart. If you arrive 30 minutes before the start of the program, you can also take a route through the festival heart.
• IMPORTANT! Do not go directly to the floating platforms without a (program) wristband, as you will not be granted access.
