The MobileWorlds project is focused mostly on how culture affects mobility, and what cultures of mobilities are and could be. Alongside this, however, I (Kim) have also worked a lot on the question of &#8220;Cultures of Water&#8221;, and how cultures relate with spatial planning and heritage. I&#8217;ve been exploring the topic of Cultures of Water together with a wonderful team of colleagues from various backgrounds &#8211; Clara Roberti, Bruno Lopes, Gisele C. Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, Rui Monteiro, Rui Pedro Almeida, and many others. This subject (and team!) has allowed reflections on how to understand &#8220;culture&#8221;, how it is intertwined with heritage, various environments, identities, and the value and importance of arts-based methods for understanding, communcating, and engaging various publics. Here is an overview of what has emerged from this so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This week, we published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/2159032X.2025.2555019\"><em>Exploring the potentials of rural tactical action for co-creating Heritage: the case of the &#8216;Minante&#8217; project<\/em> <\/a>in the Heritage &amp; Society Journal.<\/li>\n<li>In print since this September, the <span class=\"NLM_article-title hlFld-title\">special issue on Cultures of Water in the Cultural Studies Journal, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/toc\/rcus20\/39\/5\">here,<\/a> featuring the <\/span>article, <span class=\"NLM_article-title hlFld-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/09502386.2025.2467724\"><em>Interweaving environment, heritage, and society through<\/em> <i><span class=\"single_highlight_class\">Cultures<\/span> <span class=\"single_highlight_class\">of<\/span> <span class=\"single_highlight_class\">Water<\/span><\/i>.
