What do you think your shoreline will look like in the year 2100?
What role will climate change play in shaping that future?
Sunk Shore is Carolyn Hall and Clarinda Mac Low’s approach to making climate change data local, relatable, and tangible so together we can plan for a future that we want to see happen.
Sunk Shore work is based in creating an embodied understanding of overwhelming climate change data, and grows from Hall and Mac Low’s long-term dance and somatic practices married to scientific analysis and speculative imagining. For this MELT Event, Hall and Mac Low will share the Sunk Shore methodology they use to create their shoreline and climate change based artworks. In this interactive workshop participants will explore memories and feelings of their own specific shorelines and speculate about what that shoreline may look like 75 years from now. Hall and Mac Low will lead participants through a process which includes: local history, embodied knowledge of place, discussions of climate change predictions, participation in exercises and imaginings, and building a group vision based on each person’s expectations, fears, and hopes for the future of their shorelines and homes.
