Altered Tides for World Ocean Day - Panel Talk

About

Curated by Josephine Bailey and in support of the Blue Marine Foundation, Altered Tides blends objects found in nature with hi-tech processes into an underwater utopia.

Working across a wide range of disciplines and media, Trevorah takes a panoptic and cinematic approach to creating artworks that challenge prevailing human-centred narratives. Evolved from eco-feminist theory and a belief in the interconnectivity of human and non-human intelligence, she imagines hybrid lifeforms as a response to the planetary emergency. 

Altered Tides describes a post-human re-genesis as mutations of fossils, corals and aquatic creatures emerge from the dying oceans to reclaim their presence on land. Human wit provides the glue as marine materials and found fragments become indistinguishable from 3D-printed elements and complement traditional techniques. With the future of our planet shaped by historical legacies as much as by present-day choices, the exhibition acts both as a forewarning and as a message of hope.

World Ocean Day on 8 June will be marked with a panel talk led by Nico Kos Earle, curator and ambassador for Blue Marine Foundation.
