The “Hydrocitizens” project addresses and creatively explores
people’s connections to water, to each other and nature through
water in systems, places and landscapes. It is an Arts and
Humanities Research Council Connected Communities Project
involving eight UK universities and community and artistic partners
in fours case study areas, including Bristol and mid-Wales.
Water connects us to each other, to nature and our environment. It
encourages people to see local places, neighbourhoods and landscapes in
new ways. It also helps raise important ecological and environmental
issues and how we face them.
Your sense of self, family, place, culture (and even nation) are made of a complicated weave of
stories. Modern society rarely lets nature and water into those stories, unless there are
drownings, floods or drought.
