River Cities: Biography

Introduction

The River biographies theme focuses recording and archiving the historical and ephemeral heritage of the Kenh Te canal.​ The bio component will engage with historical archive records, digital storytelling, urban ethnography and community participation to develop innovative and novel methods for narrating the disruptions of the river ecosystem and its lifeworld. Reaching back over 100 years to tell multiple histories, the bio will connect the river as public space with local communities and document transformations of the river and human ecology.
