Rivers' Stories
In this section you will find GP's field notes, organized into a short "open-ended" video-story that is also a trailer for a forthcoming publication.
GP has conducted and filmed dozens of in-depth interviews during her Fulbright Fellowship as a Visiting Student Researcher in the State of the "Great River" (hosted at Mississippi State University, Department of Landscape Architecture, September 2012 - June 2013)

Tale n°1. Mississippi Delta.
This story is about the alluvial plain of one of the most important rivers in the world, with a complex history, rich of water, but how long water is going to last? What did it happen here? Who lives and works here? Which are the main activities and challenges? Who is going to take care of its cultural heritage and natural resources? Who pays attention to water?
Tale n°2. Mississippi Scenic Rivers.
In 1999, Mississippi enacted a voluntary program, linked to the National Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, to promote conservation and stewardship for rivers that posses unique wildlife, historic or cultural values, through a network of landowners. How has it gone to end?
Tale n°3. Pascagoula.
There is just one river left in continental USA that has not been transformed by hydraulic infrastructures like dams and levees. How is it going for this river today? Who is taking care of it?
