LIQUID BECOMINGS
Liquid Becomings is The European Pavilion 2024.
Liquid Becomings is not a traditional Pavilion or building, neither is it a space to be filled. It’s a time-based liquid pavilion, a flow of journeys, made up of small boats sailing along four of Europe’s greatest rivers – the Danube, the Rhine, the Tagus, and the Vistula – through thirteen different countries.
The boats will be home to 32 artists drawn from 17 countries. Along the course of their journeys, they’ll meet communities and engage with civic society to explore new, joyful, ways of being together and building a better Europe.
Liquid Becomings will climax at a three-day event in Lisbon, where we’ll share and show what we’ve discovered on our liquid journeys.

Over the course of our journeys, we’ll be gathering the ideas of people who live along the rivers. When we’ve finished, we’ll have found new ways of being together and new ways to tell each others’ stories.
You can read more about the background to the project here.
