from Urbinary · host POLI.RADIO
Venice has always lived with water. But after the catastrophic flood of 1966, that uneasy coexistence increasingly came to be governed through large-scale technological control. Through the controversial history of the MOSE barriers, the episode explores how infrastructures reorganize socio-natural relations and transform the political struggle over who gets to govern the lagoon. Written by Quentin Baladi, Chiara Caruso, Sanjana Shankar, and Emma Veneziani. Narrated by Dafni Riga. Edited by Stella De Luca. Post-production and sound design by Giorgio Mattina.
