Collaging to find river connections and stimulate new meanings

This article contributes to work in creative geographies through the lens of river spaces and a multimodal practice among an ensemble of artists/poets/scientists. The collaboration created two collage series with both planned and unplanned visual, textual, and audio-visual media. Orchestrated in a time of global pandemic, learnings from the ensemble’s online creative practice are shared and discussed, including: the methodological possibilities of online collaboration and the Internet’s ability to facilitate distanced and sustained co-creation, as well as the potential of collage and poetry to reimagine relationships with rivers.
