Aquatopia documents Harmattan Theater’s ecological interventions and traces its engagements with water-bound landscapes, colonial histories, climate change and public space across New York City, Venice, Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Cochin.
Focusing on the interplay of memory and colonial history, this volume explores urban artefacts linked to Dutch and Portuguese maritime exploits. It serves as a memory theatre that delves into the haunting legacies of colonialism, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars in cultural studies, anthropology of space, maritime history, and postcolonial studies. The clear and direct writing style enhances its accessibility and engagement with complex themes.
