Campaigns
Public pressure with a name on it, since We for Yamuna in 2000.
A campaign pushes. An event invites.
A campaign pushes. It picks one thing — a river, the air, a planting season — and refuses to be finished with it. The oldest one here has been pushing since 2000.
Public pressure with a name on it, since We for Yamuna in 2000.
A project runs for years. It has a curriculum, a plot of land or one community behind it, and the honest measure of it is what was still standing after the funding ended.
Curriculum, campus and garden. The work that runs for years.
A journey goes. You leave the city, or you walk into the part of it you have only ever driven past, and the place makes the argument instead of us.
A thousand kilometres on one river, or five days in a village.
An event invites. It happens in public, it is open to whoever turns up, and then it is over.
Workshops, concerts and plays. One night at a time.
