a river holds a perfect memory

Bodies of water are intervened upon, moved, disrupted and exploited. Labouring bodies experience similar pressures from the same forces of power and extraction. Distant communities — Northern England and Jamaica — share similar histories of manipulation and oppression whose record is kept in the living memory of its waterways. But water, like people, can find a way to exert its own will. (IDFA, Cristina Kolozsváry-Kiss)
