Lee Valley Hydrocitizenship was part of a three year project entitled Hydrocitizenship (2014-2017) that combined academic research with community participation and creative activities. It's aim was to reflect on the notions of community and citizenship in relation to environmental (and especially water-related) concerns and how this can move us towards a more sustainable society.
The River Lee/Valley is London’s second river, 26 miles long, comprising a system of canals/locks, reservoirs and an historic resident & industrial community and rich ecosystem. Over the three year project, we aimed to investigate and contribute to understanding the diverse relationships between people, nature, and water in the Lee Valley. We did this through creative conversations with community partners and individuals, and by facilitating, encouraging and producing creative interventions and outputs that help explore these complex inter-relationships.
The Lee Valley Hydrocitizenship team consisted of researchers from The University of Middlesex and University of Brighton. As with the other case studies of the Hydrocitizenship project, the team included lead artists, in this case, Simon Read and Lorraine Leeson.
