Abstract

The article "How Water Remembers" focuses on a speculative project that explores the interconnections between biodiversity and cultural diversity in Vancouver's Chinatown, particularly in relation to the historical and ecological significance of False Creek. It emphasizes the importance of revitalizing urban ecosystems and reclaiming ancestral knowledge to foster resilience against climate change and systemic issues such as gentrification and racism. The narrative incorporates the figure of 龍 母 (Dragon Mother) and the legendary Sínulhḵay̓, a two-headed sea serpent, as symbols of guardianship and the need to remember and honor the natural world. The project includes community engagement activities aimed at raising awareness of these themes and the ecological history of the area. [Extracted from the article]
