About this Event
Bitesize: Poetry and Blue Humanities
This short talk considers shorelines as ‘meeting places.’ The interface between land and sea is a space to cross tracks and lifeways with others: human and more-than-human; terrestrial and oceanic; past, present and future. At the strandline we may also cross paths with numerous signs of anthropogenic change in the seas that are changing the cultural meanings of the ocean. What can the sea and its shorelines teach? How might we learn to listen to what they are telling us? How might literature and visual art help in this endeavour?
