Taking rivers as the source of life and livelihoods, this hybrid webinar brings artists and experts connected with three major rivers – the Tiete in Brazil, the Indus in Pakistan and the Thames in UK – on a conversational platform to exchange knowledge and experience in a modern setting with a diverse audience of students, thinkers and professionals . 

The webinar is being hosted by the Karachi Biennale 2024, which is themed around the idea of food security under the title RIZQ/RISK.
