Risky Cities

This map was made as part of a project for Hull University Risky Cities. This was a community creative writing project that collected together stories told by people from Hull of flooding; real and imaginary. The city of Hull has a long history of flooding and the project hopes to increase engagement with the risks of flooding and climate change. The map was presented alongside four other artistic responses to the writing in two showings at Hull University and The Freedom Centre, Hull.
