Toward an International of Water Bodies: Voicing, Visualizing, Evidencing, Mobilizing
How can diverse water bodies at various localities learn from each other and build solidarity? How can we think this form of support as an international effort where the main protagonist is water and all the living networks it sustains? This hybrid workshop will gather scientists, artists, legal scholars, activists, and writers from Brazil, Indonesia, and Spain to bring their experiences in advocating the protection of water bodies at their localities. Inspired by Camille de Toledo, artist and activist who launched the research program “Towards and Internationale of Rivers and Other Elements of Nature,” the workshop will focus on sharing the experiences of voicing and visualizing water bodies, evidencing environmental violence and healing beyond jurisdictional logics, and mobilizing legal-political supports to protect water.
