At a time of ecological fragility, a review of the extractivist approach we continue to exercise over the planet's natural resources is necessary in order to experiment with new methodologies for the eco-social transition. The critical situation of water, a natural, public resource, inherent to human rights and fundamental for the development of our ecologies, proves the reality that our ecosystem is fragile and dependent on many other agents. Understanding water as a political subject can be key to imagining new contexts in which to experiment and think about future ways of relating.

ABOUT
Acidic Waters is an online seminar that will delve into the possibilities that speculative design offers for the generation of new desirable futures. New narratives can lead us to deploy a relationship with water, understanding it as a space for debate, a place of mediation, and a resource for speculation and proposition. In this aspect, a design exercise based on future projection processes can stimulate and give rise to a critical review of both our thinking and our material practices.
