River Landscapes: A Speculative Glossary
Art • Science • Workshop • Ecology • Speculative neologisms
Distilling learnings from the River Landscapes workshop by Science Gallery Bangalore and Pro Helvetia into an interactive intervention, the glossword explores alternative imaginaries, starting with our lexicon.
The four-day transdisciplinary workshop focused on situating historical and contemporary realities of rivers within larger political, technocratic and sociocultural imaginations. For the post-workshop group show and publication, I drew from my extensive notes of the lectures, presentations and discussions with scientists and artists to craft a speculative glossary and crossword puzzle. Playful and melancholic, subversive and whimsical, this plurilingual collection of neologisms and semantic shifts attempts to inspire stewardship in our more-than-human world.
