Abstract

© 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.This case study explores a collaboration between young people, researchers and artists which captured stories of how people in the Red River Catchment of Northern Vietnam are responding to climate change, and then used the local art of water puppetry to communicate those stories to a wider audience. The performance evoked the interdependence of the human and physical worlds, showing the impacts of climate change but also people’s adaptiveness. In this way, the piece highlighted how communities along the Red River are practising how to ‘live with hope’, as Gallagher describes it (2022), and how others could do so, too.
