essay title In deep water: How do the (im)mobilities of women relate to (im)mobilities of water in Bangladesh? target audience public gallery commentary My creative translation project proposes climate change tarot cards or ‘terra cards’ a play on the word terra meaning earth. Like traditional tarot cards each card has a relationship with each other and can be combined in multiple ways to tell different stories and help understand the linkages between factors that people may not have previously be aware of. By playing with these cards people can imagine and discuss ways these factors interact. The random quality of dealing cards reflects the quality of inequality and unfairness in the world. Hopefully these cards will push people to recognise their own privileged position with the hand they have been dealt in life and teach people that social justice issues are not isolated from climate change but undeniably connected. |
