Toward the Italian Geographic Congress that will be held in Turin (3-5 September 2025) we share the call for our session n. 43, entitled “Pontos. Encounters-Clashes between planetary urbanization and the sea within the ecological crisis” which arises in connection with the Horizon Europe project PArtArt4OW – Participatory Art for Ocean and Water and the project CO>SEA – Collaboratorium for Socio-Environmental Analysis of the Ocean.

Abstract proposals can be sent by May 3, 2025, using the form available on the dedicated page of the Congress website. The session has as non-exclusive themes of interest:

• Ecological disorder: new sympoiesis between urban society and the sea. Geographical, philosophical-political and historical perspectives.
• Urbanization of the sea and entry of the sea into urban spaces: coasts, ports, interports and the open sea as places of hybridization and conflict; migration infrastructures.
• New forms of exploration: innovative methodologies and practices of exploration of Pontos (visual research, inquiry, artistic-participatory approaches…)
