Urban Waterworlds

This is an interdisciplinary collaborative communication project entitled “Urban Waterworlds: Dialogues on Urban Flooding, Climate Justice and the Future of Water in the City” co-developed with Dr. Silke Oldenburg at the University of Basel, funded by an Agora grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (2022-23). 

This project explores the stories of young people’s concerns about urban waterworlds, flooding and futurity. The project draws on the diverse knowledge of a team of academics, grassroots environmental organisations, social workers, teachers, and photographers, and involved workshops, urban environmental collective walks, and artistic work, with youth in Lausanne and Basel, Switzerland, and Cartagena, Colombia.
