Are default approaches to sensing a product of specific cultural, political, or even human habits? How might transformative engagements with sensing remake social, political and environmental relations?

This research project draws on a five-day river expedition to explore the paradox of the embodied experience of—on the one hand—the vitality and resilience of the human and natural communities that inhabit the Upper Mississippi River and its watershed, and—on the other hand—the varied impacts and harms caused by climate change, settler colonialism, racial injustices, and large-scale river engineering. In a live stream the travelers report on spaces they travel through and the species they move with.
