Summer School –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Becoming an Octopus / Performance “A Contract Unto Hydrojustice”

Pragovka Gallery warmly invites you to a performative event by Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos: A Contract Unto Hydrojustice / Hydra: The Contract, taking place 10th of June at 16:00 within the Summer School program.

“Hydra: The Contract” is an immersive performative situation in which the audience is invited to enter a speculative contract among bodies of water. The performance takes the form of a private liturgy, connecting those present to one another and to the bodies of water to which we all belong. The event is preceded by a performative reading and followed by a discussion. It is based on the artist’s recent book Hydrojustice (Cambridge: Polity, 2025).

Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos is an artist / academic / fiction writer whose practice spans performance, legal theory, ecological pedagogy, spatial justice, video art, installation, hydrotheory, and more. He is Professor of Law & Theory at the University of Westminster and Director of the Westminster Law & Theory Lab. His work has been shown internationally, including at Palais de Tokyo, the Venice Biennale, and Tate Modern.
