get wet! 

The first project selected for the SIT-PLU residency, which will commence in January 2026, is “Get Wet!“ by the artist collective WOOPS (Hannes Gröblacher, Lilli Lička, Mira Samonig).

The focus is on Bolzano’s river landscapes and the materiality of water. Through participatory, collaborative, and performative actions, the artists explore different properties of water – from color and temperature to driftwood and particles – creating fluid bridges for exchange, surprise, and shared experiences.

With humor, absurdity, and banality, get wet! invites the audience to develop new perspectives on urban space and the relationship between humans and the more-than-humans.

WOOPS combines performative practice with civic engagement to reflect on and make tangible public spaces, sustainability, and social justice.

You will have the chance to meet the WOOPS collective on October 11 at Plurima!
