Join Mark Adams and Traven Pelletier in our new space, Twenty Summers Annex at 494 Commercial, for part 1 of 3 of Ecosystems & Imagination, an artist’s interactive approach to future/present visions of the sea coast in the face of sea level rise, and the vulnerability of public space. 

Come explore coastal lands, ecology, history and activities through maps, photos, paintings and drawings. After a brief visual tour, participants will each make a personal page on their own coastal experiences and transfer them to a temporary mural.

What are the ecosystems near the water, both human and nature based? What is public space at the coast for? How will we live here in the future? What will allow this way of life to continue equitably? Markets and festivals, promenades, concerts, waterfront recreation (beachcombing, fishing, launching boats, relaxing, walking dogs, weather watching, science) The cycle of days: sunrises, sunsets, views, markers, identity.

Presented by Mark Adams and Traven Pelletier, in partnership with the Center for Coastal Studies.
