WHEN
December 9 – 20, 2018
WHAT
Accidentally, we ventured off track. We got lost, ended up elsewhere. And once there, we had no choice but to change history. So, we did. Quietly, collectively, weaving images of islands and flowers, rodents and blood, we told “Their Story”. Eventually, you’ll hear it, just like we did, murmuring in the wind.
A wise word of warning: Weed not, plastic is everywhere.
WHY
Because as the glaciers melt and our oceans become burdened with the residues of our bad habits, we feel the urgency of re-membering our fishy beginnings (Neimanis, 2017) and so embarked again on an expedition to rehearse a coastal curriculum. By scripting a curricula we aim low, towards the seabeds that lie under the beaches we love to walk along, swim at, and collect trash at. We recede into our shame and assume vulnerable positions letting the sea breeze become the skipper of our thoughts, feelings and actions.
