Working together since January 2019, Inhabited Sea is a research collaborative — directed by Nikhil Anand with Anuradha Mathur and Dilip da Cunha — that examines how the cities of Mumbai may be remade with the seas, rains, tides, and storms of our climate-changed present.

In this second of three public presentations, we screen + share the results of three projects that engage with the ways that Koli fishers, flamingoes and transit riders know and inhabit the seas in the city.
