‘The Coral Parliament’ is a student project, developed within the context of Columbia GSAPP, proposing a framework where Corals and Humans discuss common concerns and come up with policies in the benefit of all of Tuvalu’s inhabitants. The Parliament was established to envision alternative forms of inhabitation and urbanism that care for humans and non-humans and challenge the conventional hierarchical relations between humans and non-humans to ensure the rights of Corals. Faced with imminent submergence, Tuvalu must consider the question of what and how to preserve. As we understand Tuvalu’s social structure as a Coral Urbanism, where humans are just one of the ‘actors’ or inhabitants who also rely immensely on the reef ecology, the project highlights the need to recognize, recover, and care for the coral colonies in Tuvalu, as its living entities not only constitute archives of Tuvaluan traditions, eco-social practices, and knowledge, but are also fundamental to the preservation of its physical landmass and national sovereignty.
