Forthcoming October 2025

Port Futures and Social Logistics is pleased to announce PFSL02, an international screening series featuring work over twenty artists-researchers from seven countries around the world. Building on the momentum of PFSL01, this event will include new locationally-grounded short-videos about the cultural, ecological, and logistical dimensions of ports, rivers, wetlands, and the sea in shaping global circulation and contemporary environments.  

The aim of PFSL02 is to invite new voices into an ongoing dialogue about how the cultural, ecological, and logistical dimensions of circulation, sensing, and global flows are being transformed, whether through environmental urgencies, artistic research, or new technologies for understanding movement and presence. 

PFSL02 will travel during late 2025 through early 2026 to venues including the Audio Foundation (Auckland, NZ), Zou-No-Hana Terrace (Yokohama, JP), HyCp Veddel (Hamburg, DE), WEP (Groningen, NL), Harvard Graduate School of Design (Cambridge, MA), and ATHICA (Athens, GA). 

Port Futures and Social Logistics is organized by an international team of artists, urbanists, and researchers from the Port Journeys and Hyper Cultural Passengers networks. The platform organizes public programming, develops and disseminates videos from artists and researchers, and hosts a growing archive of commissioned work. We are dedicated to fostering dialogue and collaboration across disciplines and geographies, with an emphasis on experimental approaches to art, urbanism, and the planetary logistics of energy and material exchange.

PFSL02 is curated by the platform’s co-directors, James Enos, Annie Simpson, and Jan Derk Diekema.
