This lecture-performance introduces Mangrove Intelligence, a project exploring how ecological intelligence can help us rethink love and relationships. It proposes a shift from individualistic models of identity toward forms of attachment grounded in interdependence, reciprocity, and porousness. Drawing from ecological and attachment psychology, the work reflects on how our relationships—both to others and to ourselves—are shaped by the same forces that sustain mangrove ecosystems.

This event is organized in collaboration with Angeliki Tzortzakaki, curator of The Sonic Acts Biennial 2026, Melted for Love.

Huniti Goldox is the artist duo of Areej Huniti and Eliza Goldox. Their work investigates how political systems, infrastructures and histories of violence are inscribed in water, land and collective memory. They work with marginalised oral histories and mythologies as counter-languages that confront dominant narratives.

Their practice creates immersive, participatory digital environments that propose audiences not as mere spectators, but as active agents in negotiating histories, ecologies, and futures. Through films, digital re-enactments, 360-degree environments, installations, workshops, and interventions, they interrogate how space, material, and narrative produce relations of power and forms of resistance.

From a buried river in Amman to artificial lake landscapes in Leipzig, post-earthquake architectures in Albania, and Mediterranean coastlines, their projects trace the entanglement of human and more-than-human histories, revealing the tensions, fractures, and possibilities that shape our shared environments.

Their work has been presented internationally, including at the Institute for Postnatural Studies, Madrid (2023); Hauser & Wirth, Menorca (2023); TBA Academy/Ocean Uni, Madrid (2022); Tirana Art Lab (2022); D21, Leipzig (2021); Sheffield Film Festival (2021); Biennale Mediterranea, San Marino (2021); SomoS Art House, Berlin (2020); SPARC*, Venice (2020); Darat al Funun, Amman (2019); MMAG Foundation, Amman (2019); and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.

Angeliki Tzortzakaki is a Cretan-born, Amsterdam based curator, writer, project coordinator and tutor. Her practice materialises in multiple, often performative ways, and overall looks at narratives that wish to break the nature-culture binary. Since late 2023 Angeliki has been working as exhibitions curator at the Sonic Acts Biennial. Next to that, Angeliki (co-)curated solo exhibitions by AnnaMaria Pinaka ‘She Keeps Them Warm with Her Skirt’ at ROZENSTRAAT in Amsterdam (2025) and by Yorgia Karidi at the RAW Theocharakis Foundation in Athens (2024) ‘Ode to Friendship: a score to speak from’. In 2024, she co-curated the exhibition and performance programme ‘Touching Faultlines’ at the Roman Theatre of Gortyn, in Crete.  Previously, she contributed with a performance programme and editing of the catalogue to the exhibition ‘A Rave Down Below’ for 2023 Eleusis - European Capital of Culture, and in 2022 co-organised the performance series carried by invisible bodies at Sexyland & de Ruimte in Amsterdam. In 2021, Angeliki was Curatorial Fellow at ARTWORKS (Stavros Niarchos Foundation) and previously took part in the nomadic fellowship A Natural Oasis? (2018–20), after which she joined the curatorial team of the 19th Mediterranean Biennial ‘School of Waters’ in San Marino. In 2022/23 she was board member of the Salwa Foundation in Amsterdam.

Angeliki teaches situated writing and curatorial practice at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and St. Joost School of Art & Design. From 2019 to 2022 she was part of the artist-run residency programme bi- and the performance study group Scores for Gardens.
