Thanks to @katieu for this fantastic profile of our 2019 A-in-R #RoderickCoover & his integral contributions to last week’s #LearningwithWaters convening. We’ll be showcasing his work again in November as part of our “Environmental Storytelling in/as VR” festival, so stay tuned!!
@elainemgan @eirons Thank you for being there, Elaine, and for your beautiful presentation! #learningwithwaters
Looking at assemblages (rather than single species or environments), and following the world-making capacities of other (non-human) agents give us different analytic lenses for understanding rivers @elainemgan #LearningwithWaters
Dormancy in plant species (like rice), [and floods, migrations]: multi species temporalities offer circular/rhythmic/periodic understandings of time away from linear models @elainemgan @PPEHLab #envhums #learningwithwaters
@PPEHLab “If we think with other species or other ways of life... If we think of other capacities, our terms for time change.” -Elaine Gan #LearningWithWaters
@PPEHLab “What is worlding?“ Unpacking human/non-human worlds of rice that emerged after its industrialization. #LearningWithWaters
@PPEHLab “My art practice is a research method, helping me visualize my materials. Rice as dynamic process... an entanglement of contemporalities.” - Elaine Gan on global ag. & her art #LearningWithWaters
Finally,@elainemgan on multispecies entanglement in rice monocultures, temporalities shift as harvests speed up in engineered rice strains, insects respond w/ masting-like pop spikes(thinking here of taming cycles & #superweeds in the #capitalocene) #learningwithwaters @PPEHLab

For @elainemgan, art practice is a research method not an illustration, a way of thinking through temporalities #LearningwithWaters

Returning from our coffee break to listen to @elainemgan’s thinking about #rice not as seed but as #assemblage — a patchwork that comes together across multiple species — and as #narrative #learningwithwaters

Inspired by the River Severn &Dutch-Indonesian Waters panel, Roderick Coover asks if we might reconceptualize “living with rising waters” as “living with moving mud.” How do we understand solid ground? #LearningwithWaters
After finding artist #TanaWest’s work— making ceramic art from clay taken from the Severn’s mudflats—@DudleyMarianna invited her to collaborate on public workshops of art-making & formal exhibitions at the U of Bristol on how histories take shape in the mud #LearningwithWaters

Among the questions @DudleyMarianna asks: What does the Severn mean to communities? How does it function w/in energetic networks of power? #LearningwithWaters

In the tradition of @PennSAS 60-sec lectures, @PPEHLab and #risingwaters fellows present their public engagement projects at the #LearningwithWaters convening as 3-min lightening talks

Thanks for great convos, reflections & feedback during the lunch break, parkourians! #embodiedscientist parkour @PPEHLab #learningwithwaters #environmentalperformanceagency

How are urban artists creating a counter narrative of these (unfinished) large scale coastal development projects? We can think of work of Nigerian artists and musicians as alternative #worldbuilding & #ecosystemmaking #LearningwithWaters

Teaching + learning with Rising Waters with Penn Program in Environmental Humanities. Ben Mendelsohn sharing visual media and earthmoving in Lagos Lagoon. #water #environmentalhealth #learningwithwaters @PPEHLab

“Data gathering is a political act!” Artist- scientist collaborations to ask What might city look like if imagined from below? #CharismaAcey #LearningwithWaters @DataRefuge
Now Charisma Acey on Lagos Lagoon: "creativity, ecology & rights to the city" in context international investment in "eco city of the future" vs informal infrastructure built where city doesn't service residents -> leading towards climate apartheid #learningwithwaters @PPEHLab

#CharismaAcey begins her talk by describing the reliance of residents in areas of Lagos, Nigeria outside the reach of piped water on groundwater and/or water purchase from vendors #learningwithwaters
