Over the last few decades, we have seen how rapid population growth, high densities, poverty and high differentials in access to housing, public services and infrastructure have led to an increase in vulnerability, especially in India’s urban centres.
Previous editions of Nagari have looked at the state of housing and the challenges of livelihood that exist within this rapid urbanisation. This year, Nagari will focus on a single idea of how stories in urban India are tied to water.
Nagari 2022 aims to create an anthology into the many ways that water interacts with our lives –
- In its scarcity
- In urban water conservation
- In its equitable distribution
- As a driver of economy
- Its contamination
- In urban planning and disaster management
- And as a means for public intervention We have created a glimpse of some ways these interactions have taken place, and we’re excited for how filmmakers might expand this discussion.
