Fulcrum is a space where interdisciplinary dialogues on culture, politics, history, film and art emerge through exhibits, screenings, writings, and learning. The space serves as a platform for audiences and practitioners to engage in open dialogue and aims to contribute to the ecosystem of cultural practice.
A Disquiet Tide examines the mangrove ecologies of Goa not as objects of study, but as lived environments shaped by tides, labour, memory, and time. Far from being passive ecosystems, these landscapes are living infrastructures sustained through generations of ecological knowledge, care, and negotiation with water. Along estuarine edges, land and sea, cultivation and submergence, stability and change exist in constant relation.Today, these environments are increasingly unsettled. Rising seas, shifting salinity, and changing tidal rhythms disrupt inherited ways of living and working with the landscape. Mangroves become sites where ecological, social, and perceptual systems no longer align neatly, holding within them the friction of ancestral practices, present uncertainties, and emerging futures.Rather than seeking a return to balance, A Disquiet Tide asks: How do we live with systems already in flux? It invites attention to conditions where stability can no longer be assumed and where new forms of relation, care, and coexistence must continually be negotiated.- Wenceslaus Mendes
