Curated by Emma Haugh and Suza Husse.

The Many Headed Hydra is a queer shape-shifting collective interested in post-imperial narratives, eco-feminist practices and fluid geographies that emerge from bodies of water. When the Sea Looks Back (A Serpent’s Tale) engages the sea as a mirror to fabulate the connections between the desert landscapes of South and North along and beyond the ecological aftershocks of a colonial modernity.
