DECOLONIZING WETNESS – Design in the face of Climate Change & Injustice: Dilip da Cunha

Artwork depicting building

We live in an all-consuming wetness that is everywhere in the air, earth, seas, flora and fauna. It precipitates, evaporates, storms, seeps, soaks, transpires, osmotes, condenses. We are, however, not educated to live in and design with this Ocean of Wetness. We are rather educated to live on and design for an Earth surfaced by land served by water. With this Earth in trouble, threatened by the water it enslaves, we ask, does an Ocean of Wetness offer an alternative?
