Professor Katherine Gibson and Associate Professor Juan Francisco Salazar from the Institute for Culture and Society will explore what it might mean to live with the rhythms of nature, and with each other, in resilient community economies.
For more than half a century, a 1.5 km handmade bamboo bridge spanned the Mekong River in Cambodia. It was constructed annually as the waters of the river subsided, and dismantled as they rose again with the monsoon rains, until in 2017, it was replaced by a concrete structure permanently connecting the island community of Koh Paen to the bustling city of Kampong Cham.
What can a bamboo bridge teach us about ingenuity and resilience, respect for renewable materials and ethical living? Interspersed with clips from their film commemorating this beautiful, ephemeral bridge, Katherine Gibson and Juan Francisco Salazar illuminate local practices innovatively harnessed to diversify livelihoods and build economic resilience.
