About
The Ocean as Archive class (MA Contemporary Art Theory, Goldsmiths University of London) is hosting an evening event responding to the dialectical qualities of the ocean. Join us for a one-night-only showcase of photographs, drawings and audio-visual performances, creatively responding to topics such as sea migration, oceanic residues, the watery Anthropocene, and more. We will also be launching a zine with an introduction by Dr Ayesha Hameed containing fiction, creative non-fiction, drawings and photographs created on field trips to the Docklands and the Thames Estuary Path. The works produced include imaginary histories, storytelling, diaries from speculative futures, maps, and improvised drawing, which all resulted from a process of collective fiction-ing.The event will be open to the public and free to attend.
Limited copies of zines will be available for £1 each.
The event's location, Tamesis Dock, is a converted 1930s Dutch barge moored permanently between Lambeth and Vauxhall Bridge.
