‘re-routed: Aqueducts.’ is a performative installation that aims to provoke a debate by questioning the inequality surrounding biases in water; specifically, the faults in current access, distribution and purity of contemporary and historical systems. Yedikonuk (Eptakomi), a village in Northern Cyprus, will serve as a case study through which research by design methodology aims to express this Media Studies project via the making of an installation and a short video. By abstracting the form, the installation speaks as a representation of the creation of biases in social hierarchy, when deliberate attempts are made to govern the flow and distribution of natural resources, with a reflection on the negative exploitations that unwillingly follow in parallel. In context, the performance is an abstracted illustration of an ‘Aqueduct’ – which are historical man-made channels that form a bridge between natural reserves and cities to provide direct access to naturally purified water. The performance is intended to partially question the politics of water, and in further analysis, re-route a subquery in how imbalances in access to water can be used as a tool of control in the oppression of social communities. Similarly, conversations will be delivered on the nature of water’s history and its role in both the construction and de-construction of societies and regions affected by human nature's obsession with societal advancement. Though, the core of the performance remains to be a narrative that represents the visible divide between the global north and global south – where water is used as a tool to control and fuel the advancement of one, in turn causing the societal and economical regression of another.
