Art during the 2008 Disko Bay Expedition
Our two science crews from the National Oceanography Centre and British Geological Survey will be joined by over thirty artists. Joining the expedition will be musicians, composers, poets, playwrights, theatre makers, artists, crafts people, architects, engineers, photographers and youth leaders. We have a tremendous crew joining our expedition and have worked with many partners to curate the expedition crew.
We invite artists to this places of natural beauty and artistic inspiration to see first hand the effects of climate change. The invitation to join the expeditions is simple; come, explore, be inspired. Through witnessing the environment, taking part in stimulating discussion and observing and participating in scientific field research, we enable our voyagers to gain a real connection to the subject matter. Our ambition is that this experience will inspire all who journey to somehow respond to the Arctic and create work on their return.
During the expedition, our website will be our communication portal. We will send back daily blogs, images and videos to communicate this extraordinary journey to a global audience. Check back soon, subscribe to the podcast or sign up for the daily email update to follow the journey.
