SOAK – Mumbai in an Estuary

SOAK: Mumbai in an Estuary is series of maps by Anuradha Mathur and Dilip Da Cunha . Their digitally constructed representations of Mumbai in and estuary were originally displayed as prints in the national gallery of  New Delhi.  Their work is a response to the 2005 floods in Mumbai.  The way which they chose to record the shoreline is a critique against the type of maps made by proponents of 20th c. flood control measures like the first map I have included in the PDF.

Please take a look and take a look and try to guess the thesis of their work and I will be happy to discuss it with you later 🙂
