Part of the stream: Watery Speculations
curated by Lucy Sames
@lucyasames
Watery Speculations is one of the biggest streams in the conference this year, with 19 contributors divided between 6 themed panels across the two days. This stream explores feminist, queer and posthuman approaches to thinking about water – as materiality, metaphor and methodology – foregrounding the contingent nature and disruptive qualities of the liquid for creative practice.

Critical Thought follows a nonhierarchical model that seeks to foster opportunities for intellectual critical exchanges where all are treated equally regardless of affiliation or seniority. There are no keynotes and the conference is envisaged as a FREE (no cost) space for those who share intellectual approaches and interests but may find themselves on the margins of their academic department or disciplines
msdm presents two projects, 'liquid memories' and 'Follow Y/Our River,' that explore the methodology of wateryquery, in two open bookworks which emerged from artistic research with water. Drawing insights from new materialism and hydrofeminist models of wet historical time, this approach challenges the repression of wetness in photographic and publishing practices.
Fluid liquids offer a model for time, space, and matter in relational flux, a relational ontology dissolving the distinctions between human and non-human, bodies and water.
Focusing on physical waters rather than metaphors of liquid photographic data flows or liquid books, we pay attention to specific ways in which waters mark their motion on paper surfaces.
The movement between these two figurations—analogies of water in printing processes and revelations of the world through printed pages—allows us to read, archive, and publish photographic images through wet photoprints
and publications.
The methodology of wateryquery is an incremental process of formulating the implicit and includes a step-by-step guided exercise to help us figure our bodies of water. In this method, there is a focusing moment of connection with our liquid bodies, the intricacy of our watery memories. The words 'watery' and 'enquiry' join together to form a new word that doesn’t feature in standard dictionaries and suggests a felt sense of enquiring with water.
