Selected work
01Set within the Yangtze River's ten-year fishing ban and wider framework of ecological conservation, Lileas's doctoral research examines changing riverine landscapes through situated, embodied, and multisensory forms of knowledge. Working with fieldwork, drawing, mapping, moving image, and collaboration, the project considers how fisherfolk experience, more-than-human agencies, and ecological memory can be traced without reducing the river to a detached cartographic view.
