The Habitat Research Center is very pleased to welcome Dilip Da Cunha for his seminar “Decolonizing wetness: it is where design begins.” In 2017, Mathur and Da Cunha initiated a design platform called Ocean of Wetness directed to imaging and imagining habitation in ubiquitous wetness rather than on a land-water surface.

In 2020, da Cunha was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for Ocean of Rain, which is an upcoming book and exhibition.
