What’s softest in the world rushes and runs over what’s hardest in the world. Water and Stone, Ursula Le Guin, Tao Te Ching, (1997, p.43). Monthly online conversations exploring the element of water. Drawing on a wide range of perspectives, the series spans ocean justice and governance, hydropolitics, the fluid mechanics of computer circuits, to the weaponisation of water and the breath-holding experiences of a free-diver, with each conversation bringing us into deeper concord with this vital force, often described as the “matrix of life.”
