A Living Organism
Nabila Larasati Pranoto
With tools like fiction, infrastructure, and integrated hybrid systems, this project attempts to imagine new socio-ecological realities for humanity at the mercy of climate change. Using Mekong Delta as a testing bed, I have developed a fictional narrative regarding a new system of living that empowers marginalized communities living at the threshold of climate change. Formerly a leading rice exporter in Southeast Asia, Mekong Delta is facing issues of salinity intrusion and sea-level rise, threatening their productivity. Occupying their new reality, the Mekong Delta community would build an alternative world upon the foundations of aquaculture, aquaponics and water desalination.
