Hydrographies — Ancestors, Waters, Infrastructures

Hydrographies explores the political, ecological, and cosmological dimensions of water through contemporary visual art and moving image practices. It brings together artists, filmmakers, activists, writers, and scholars whose work approaches water as a contested terrain, revealing how rivers, oceans, and wetlands are mobilized in struggles over land, sovereignty, and survival. Across conversations, essays, and artistic contributions, the volume moves through colonial infrastructures, hydropolitical regimes, and submerged histories while engaging ancestral knowledges, ecological grief, and forms of cinematic imagination.
