River Landscapes: A New Glossary is a collaborative research project between Europe and South Asia that creates a transdisciplinary glossary of water, acknowledging rivers as landscapes of many species and cultures, transformed through colonial and industrial ways of thinking. Noor Ahmed presented the project and discussed co-creation with communities, research and the role of art in developing new languages for relating with rivers in times of ecological crisis. River Landscapes is an initiative by Martina Huber, Mira Jo Hirtz, Noor Ahmed, Ravi Agarwal, Johannes M Hedinger, Ruxmini Choudhury, Jahnavi Phalkey, Debjani Bhattacharyya, Ishita Chakraborty, and Anushka Rajendran.
