Anja Podreka presents problematics of the rivers and the usage of waters. The leading question of the talk is focused to the title; ‘To create a space for the river’. The river gives, forms, shapes and designs life. This fact created our habitats; towns, cities, villages etc. Water is a living body, an intelligence, a mater which brings and takes away goods therefore, it is a body which travels through space and time. Exploring rivers through stories of people, they reveal problems, challenges and give possible solutions for living with the river and along with it. Coexisting with water is a gift. Over time, responsibilities and roles have changed; manipulation and transformation of rivers beds and its characters, exploitation of its resources, is leading us into a destruction of our own habitat.
