About the project
The River Don as a ‘place’ in which the compounding challenges we face intersect, is perfectly situated. Through the River Dôn Project we intend to demonstrate how our ontologies and civic infrastructures can be shifted from a world view of separation to one of relational, multi-agent interdependence.
We intend to demonstrate how systems of governance, value and public discourse could be reoriented to enable a holistic understanding of the social and ecological costs of externalities and the long-term risks created through the superseding of planetary boundaries. We intend to demonstrate how the rights of nature could be incorporated into new civic infrastructures and nurture the transitions ahead.
