Description
In GIF format, the Shivaji Competition seeks actual and impossible ideas to maintain human habitation on islands and deltas doomed by the predicted sea level rise of at least one meter in the 21st century. All entries will be submitted as animated GIFs for social media broadcast and museum exhibition. One finalist will be selected to participate in the Rising Waters Confab 2016 to be held on Captiva Island, Florida, USA in May, 2016. Roundtrip transportation provided.
The ideas presented as animated GIFs can explore the full range of practical, political and artistic thinking. Responses can be elaborate infrastructures for urban cities and DIY methods for agricultural islands by residents with very limit economic resources. (or vis-a-versa). The proposals can be real, impossible, symbolic, humorous, paradoxical, etc as long as the proposals help wake up politicians, engage the minds of a broad public and respect the people of the islands or deltas.
