WATERSHED
Watershed , 2020, is a short film that begins a mapping of the River Cole in Birmingham through foraging, dyeing and walking its length. This work combines fictionalised, scientific and historical narratives of water, pollution, and contagion, particularly within the current viral crisis, towards a utopian proposal of bodies’ capacity for survival when viscerally re-connected with our immediate environments.
Watershed was commissioned by So Remember the Liquid Ground.

- there is moving text and some flashing text
- sound sometimes starts unexpectedly and can be loud. You can mute it before it starts (or after) if you go to the grey panel on the left hand side of the screen
- some of the text is almost impossible to read without a screen reader
- every page links to at least one other page, there are no static pages. Try to see as much as you can in the world of the game by clicking on different bits of text and images.
- image/video/GIF descriptions are often integrated into the main page of text. This is also the case with sound description. Otherwise images have alt/text. If anything is missing, please tell me
