Four Acts of Recovery follows a fisher family from the Indus Delta of Pakistan as they turn to practices of drawing and painting to navigate unprecedented infrastructural violence and climate collapse. As the delta is fast submerged by the sea, this family searches for old and new ways of maintaining sacred relation with their shrines and disappearing homelands. The film connects the practice of painting sea murals to Islamic traditions of drawing talismans for protection, remembrance and recovery. Drawing becomes a vital ritual that holds space for sacred and ecological worlds amidst annihilation.
