MUMBAI WATER
NARRATIVES
Curating Mumbai's Water Histories and Visualising Shared Solutions...
Confluence, our first Virtual Exhibition, is live!
Mumbai’s relationship with water can be traced back to its very conception. The Mumbai we know and inhabit today was a series of seven islands, ruled by different kingly empires. Surrounded by water on all sides, these islands have always had a unique relationship to both the sea and freshwater. This project has been initiated by the Living Waters Museum in collaboration with a growing network of Partners to explore our fascination with Mumbai’s water stories, people and practices over time.
