North Sea Rising – book presentation at Gallery VI PER
Presentation of our new book North Sea Rising: A Case for Water-Based Commons.
In the book North Sea Rising, its editors Nabi Agzamov and Francesca Vanelli advocate for a new perspective on regional communities in the North Sea basin. Through a series of essays, experts and practitioners address the historical development of this dynamic region and its heritage, the challenges posed by climate change, and the possible approaches needed to present a vision of a resilient and just future for the North Sea.
Tom Holbrook, in his contribution A New Hansa?, explores the historical and contemporary significance of trading and urban networks in the region; Di Fang, in her text Mapping the Human-Ocean Nexus, critiques traditional cartography and advocates for "ocean thinking" focused on biodiversity; and Nashin Mahtani, in the essay To Dream Like a River, emphasizes the importance of community-led governance. The book closes with the text North Sea Manifesting, in which Agzamov and Vanelli propose a fluid, inclusive model of governance that balances ecological and social dimensions. The book challenges conventional concepts of territory and governance and advocates for a vision of the North Sea rooted in collaboration, resilience, and ecological balance.
