In her keynote, Margreet Zwarteveen (IHE Delft) mobilised feminist thinkers (Butler, Haraway, Gibson-Graham and Barad) to formulate two propositions that question what it means to engage in transformative processes of change in a water research context. The first was that even the most seemingly fixed, stable or persistent structures to do with water (social, infrastructural or ecological) require continuous work - of repair, care, maintenance - to remain in place.  The second was that the world is made up of a range of co-existing and always emerging ways of structuring - organising, ordering and patterning - that sometimes overlap and resonate, but also can be in tension or friction. When accepting these propositions, engaging in transformation means accepting being part of a complex entanglement that may give rise to not-always predictable and sometimes surprising trajectories of change. Doing this becomes easier when relaxing positions of masterful knowing or moral certainty in favour of a more modest and always situated posture, one that cherishes joint experimentation, learning, practical forms of healing and care around water. Margreet further reflected on the festival’s guiding questions and the framing of situated knowledges; How do different disciplines or actors work together in your research/ project? With what consequences? Which kinds of relations between water - specifically rivers - and humans and non-humans beings are enacted? What or who is missing from involvement in the projects?  The session was video recorded by the TA T.
