Multisensorial traces of lost and recovered memories of Sapelo Island: scents and sonics of the ocean
Multisensorial traces of lost and recovered memories of Sapelo Island: scents and sonics of the ocean For several thousand years people have lived on Sapelo Island, modifying its terrestrial and marine ecosystems in deliberate as well as unexpected ways. The natural environment of Sapelo is defined first by its extensive saltmarshes whose rate of photosynthesis […]
Archival Oyster: Reclaiming Coastal Legacies through Oral History and Printmaking
Archival Oyster: Reclaiming Coastal Legacies through Oral History and Printmaking The Archival Oyster Project will seek to unearth narratives of multispecies kinship that emerge from within the ‘Forgotten Coast’ on the Florida Panhandle. Oysters represent both an old and well-known industry and a supposed new ‘frontier’ for coastal livelihoods and living shorelines. Archival Oyster: Reclaiming […]
Pollution and Violence: A Mississippi Delta case study and prototypes for action
Pollution and Violence: A Mississippi Delta case study and prototypes for action Pollution and violence are connected in profound and multifarious ways that are complex and often hidden, yet tethered via underlying dynamics that we wish to explore. We will leverage the approaches developed in the ocean memory project for case studies of the Mississippi […]
