Weaving Reeds Between Two Rivers
Practice-based Approaches to Reclaiming Indigenous Nomadic Pastoralist Knowledge in the Çukurova Wetlands
It explores the ecological constellations between nomadic pastoralists and the water bodies of Çukurova (Cilicia). Walking with the remnants of nomadic pastoralist ecologies, listening and learning with crafts, it assembles a counter-cartography to revive multi-species living knowledge while revealing the ruptures caused by the hegemonic infrastructures.
