Week 11: Sunk Shore

Sunk Shore (Carolyn Hall and Clarinda Mac Low) brings you on a tour of the climate changed future on the shores of the East River. 
Join them as they time-travel to 2092 and back again.

Picture a shoreline you know well - it can be near you now, one you grew up with, or one you visited and fell in love with. What do you imagine it will look and feel like 72 years in the future - in 2092? Think about the temperature, the air, the ground, the water, the sounds, the smells. Will it be further inshore or offshore? Who lives there and how do they live? What structures are nearby? What plants, animals, birds, fish, and insects do you see? Note what has changed…

Sunk Shore is a speculative, experiential tour of our climate changed future that takes place along specific shorelines. The experience is built to bring you into an embodied experience of information that can seem very remote or abstract, giving number and date visceral weight and impact. The tour is based on research about events expected to take place (and already happening), including rising sea levels, changing animal species, higher heat, ingenious solutions, social revolutions, and more.
