Commissioned by Arts Catalyst as part of their Test Site Series. The wider project spanned five years and included Working Waters, at the heart of the project was a conversation that went back and forth between Ruth, Megan and the participants.

During the research we worked with an array of people involved in flood recovery/resilience, conservation, and tourism. This included: groups involved in natural flood management (NFM), conservation professionals and volunteers, anglers, a canal boat company, representatives from key governmental and third sector organisations (local and national) as well as local residents and people who had had their homes and businesses flooded. A rich understanding of their knowledge, experiences and concerns were developed.
