Strategies and methodologies aimed at the sustainable management of water and water ecosystems need to go beyond technical and economic driven approaches. The event aims to gather the perspective of artists, activists, and indigenous representatives. Speakers will be asked to share their experience and strategies in working with water and fighting against water socio-ecological injustices. Their insights can guide us towards a different engagement with water, taking into consideration values often left aside by mainstream water management programs that can lead towards more holistic and just programs. This will represent the first step for building log-lasting interdisciplinary partnerships for a constantly-growing international network of artists, activists, academics, policy makers, and experts.
