We are Iuliia Gataulina and Natalia Batrakova, we work on the research project Pluriversal Waters, funded by the Kone Foundation and hosted by the Politics Department at Tampere University. Our research explores what happens to the Earth—specifically its waters and subterranean environments—under large-scale extractive capitalism. Iuliia Gataulina is a postdoctoral researcher with a background in political science and international relations, currently transitioning into the field of political ecology. Natalia Batrakova, trained as an architect, contributes to the project as a visual artist. Drawing from international political economy, political ecology, geophilosophy, and Earth sciences, we integrate visual practices into our research, including sketching, animation, photography, and videography.
