Exploring City Wetlands: Small Resilient Unruly (website).
This work is a creative exploration of areas of ecological resistance in Latina, Italy. In Latina—the capital of the province of Latina—wetlands emerge in-between the ruins and rubbles of the urban fabric; the nonhuman organizes itself by creating forms of ecological resistance that go beyond the natural/built dichotomy. They are the non-designed result of colonial and industrial infrastructures that constitute the Anthropocene and its dreadfulness. From here we need to start rethinking cities: beyond spaces, times, and logics of ecosystem services and natural capital.
Exploring City Wetlands: A Deep Map is a new version of a previous story map titled “Exploring City Wetlands: Small Resilient Unruly.” This is an interactive story map created by Paolo Gruppuso.
