Description
This project focuses on efforts to remake the relationship between river and city in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In
response to an ongoing water crisis characterized by both regularized flooding and water scarcity, actors
both inside and outside of the state are currently attempting to create new ways of managing urban
water. I focus on contemporary projects to reimagine the Tiete River, including artist engagements and
creative projects focused on highlighting the cityfs often marginalized rivers as well as two state]led
development projects designed to provide infrastructure against flooding and public space to urban
residents. This project contributes to understanding the challenges of managing water in a metropolitan
region of twenty million people and 39 municipalities.
