“The World’s Whose Oyster?” SCIS at 6th Oct online event on Scotland’s coastal commons, alt economies and locally embedded responses to climate breakdown: with Atlas Arts and #CLIMAVORE friends
CLIMAVORE: On Tidal Zones’ October block of programming will take stock of the project’s history over the past five years, celebrating local partnerships, conversations, alternative ingredients, economy, industry and looking at the climate crisis. We aim to acknowledge the complexed, nuanced interspecies relationships between ourselves, the coasts and of course (inter)tidal zones.
We have a series of events throughout October in relation to this, which you can find here:
