This piece is an invitation to rethink urban rhythms, waterfront landscapes, and non-human driven time scales. It was produced in the context of Baixinho's PhD research in Visual Sociology at Goldsmiths College, University of London, in which she is studying the specificities of cruise ship aquamobilities and the transformations they catalyze in post-industrial port cities.
