Working together since January 2019, Inhabited Sea is a research collaborative — directed by Nikhil Anand with Anuradha Mathur and Dilip da Cunha — that examines how the cities of Mumbai may be remade with the seas, rains, tides, and storms of our climate-changed present. 

In this public seminar and screening, they will share the results of two projects that document the ways in which Mumbai’s residents inhabit its relentlessly wet terrain. How might the arts of living with wetness generate new imaginaries, aspirations and designs for the future?

The resulting films and drawings of these research projects will be available at the inhabitedsea.org a week before the event.  We invite you to dwell in these projects before joining CAMP and SEA in the live conversation with Anant Mariganti and Anne Whiston Spirn on January 20. 

Participation is free and open to the public, and requires prior registration at inhabitedsea.eventbrite.com
