Ocean MattersOver the weekend of the 26-27th May, we will be working with the Bristol Aquarium's May Half-Term campaign 'The Big Blue' to talk about all things plastic.
As recent studies have shown, plastic is one of the greatest threats to human and non-human life. The weekend event and research exhibition aims to capitalise on the recent swell in public awareness of ocean plastics by bringing local communities into contact with the global scale of plastic pollution through a blend of art and activism. Through a series of fun, free, and interactive talks and workshops this weekend will bring together a range of artists, academics and activists to illuminate the hazards, visible and invisible, local and global, of plastic debris. In addition to special talks by academics and scientists from across the South West we will also be hosting special screenings of the environmental documentaries 'Albatross' and ‘A Plastic Voyage’ during the week at the Aquarium and Bath Spa University. For more information please see our 'About' page or get in touch. This event is supported by the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment (ASLE) Subvention Grant, Bath Spa University, and the University of Exeter. |
