When I Grow Up I Want to Be a Ship by Emily Peasgood

About

This new exhibition by sound artist and composer Emily Peasgood takes the form of a song, played through speakers in the gallery space, exploring Southampton’s complex relationship to the sea. Spanning a period of over 400 years, the song’s lyrical content explores the city’s every-changing coastline from the 1600s to the present day and into the future. Informed and inspired by local histories and local people, the song invites visitors to immerse themselves in the story of the Solent.

We will also be hosting a launch event on Friday 11th March from 6pm till late at God's House Tower. Find out more and book your free ticket here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/when-i-grow-up-i-want-to-be-a-ship-exhibition-launch-tickets-272150689037
