"Turn the Tide" is a fictional immersive VR experience that takes you through an underwater fishing village shaped by climate resilience, challenging the historical narrative of marginalized communities being the most affected during climate crises after coastline and habitat loss due to flooding. This project tackles habitat loss and climate migration, real world problems that are affecting thousands as we speak.
It’s the year 2800.The coastal city of Chennai (Tamil Nadu, India) has dramatically transformed. With the city sinking 15 meters due to climate change*, most of the population has moved inland.
However, one village of fisherfolk refused to abandon their ancestral land and livelihood and made a bold decision: they went underwater.
