Anthropocene Desire Lines

A peer-reviewed visual essay and interactive storymap tracing an imaginary lump of coal through its metamorphoses from geological stratum to aerial particulate, across the industrialised wetlands of Ennore Creek, Chennai. Drawing from activist-driven field research, the work positions the Creek within networks of Anthropocene sites and desire lines, compressing scales from the planetary to the microscopic along a continuum of deep, everyday and future timescales.
