What’s happening to Bengaluru?
What happens to a city when the things shaping it become invisible?
At the Festival of Defiance, Socratus Foundation brings two stories that invite us to look at Bengaluru a little differently.
🌊 Rivers of Bengaluru
Bengaluru has rivers, but most of us barely notice them anymore. Trace the waterways that shape our city, explore what has happened to them, and understand the water we depend on.
☀️ Heat of Bengaluru
Bengaluru was once known for its cool climate. So, why is the city getting hotter? Explore what’s changing, why it’s happening, and what a cooler Bengaluru could look like.
Through models, maps and stories, come explore the city you live in and discover what’s happening beneath the surface.
