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 second of three public presentations, we screen + share the results of three projects that engage with the ways that Koli fishers, flamingoes and transit riders know and inhabit the seas in the city.

The resulting films and drawings of these research projects will be available at inhabitedsea.org a week before the event. We invite you to immerse yourself in these projects before joining the live conversation between the researchers, Nityanand Jayaraman and Kelly Shannon on February 24.

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