The Waves come in Pairs. Thinking with the Meditteraneans. Thinking with the Mediterraneans A conversation between Etel Adnan and Simone Fattal

In 2021, Etel Adnan and Simone Fattal recorded an intimate conversation about the Mediterranean at their Parisian home, exploring the plural nature of the Mediterraneans—geographical, historical, philosophical, and personal. This publication, emerging from TBA21–Academy's curatorial fellowship program The Current (2021–23), extends that dialogue to collect interdisciplinary reflections through art, oceanic thinking, science, and activism. The book addresses climate change impacts specific to Mediterranean shores, occurring 20 percent faster than elsewhere globally, and examines how "Mediterraneanization" is becoming an expansive global phenomenon. It records fragments of two years of research conducted through conversations, lectures, walks, trips, live performances, and podcasts, emphasizing the necessity of thinking with—not merely about—the Mediterraneans as plural interconnected cultures and bodies of water undergoing rapid transformation.
