Phantom Waterways & Unstable Geographies

  • サマリー

  • Human made infrastructures always eventually crumble, lost to time and memory. The 21st century has brought these concerns uncomfortably close to ‘First World’ or technologically advanced societies, societies which tell themselves that they have mastered nature. Levees break, power grids overload, and suddenly a highway is a river. As we wade through the layers of deprivation, segregation and allocation that make it so, we uncover that some of these roads had always been rivers, and their memories may still be stronger than our methods. In this episode Lauren Williams points to human designs nearing failure tolerance, and calls us back to a different relation with Nature and each other.


    This limited series was dreamed up, written and produced by Lauren Williams; essays were co-produced by my dear friend Ayinde Jean-Baptiste; and the audio was engineered by Conor Anderson. Featured guests include Myrtle Thompson-Curtis, Nate Mullen and Kyle Whyte. Excerpts from several references were read by voice actors Joy Vandervordt-Cobb. Our theme music is the instrumentals from a song called Detroit Summer by Invincible and Waajeed, courtesy of Emergence Media.
