Soundings by Emma Critchley
Age suitable for:
- All ages
This thought-provoking showcase combines filmmaking, choreography, and public engagement to address the urgent and complex issue of deep-sea mining.
Deep-sea mining is a critical but little-known issue that Emma Critchley has been engaged with for many years. The deep seabed, legally the shared responsibility of humankind, plays a vital role in regulating the earth's climate and supporting life. Mining has not yet begun, but in 2023 a two-year road map was set out to finalise the mining code, which will define the regulations for all mining operations. Amid growing calls for a pause or moratorium, Soundings brings together a wide range of material and perspectives, offering a counter-position to the intensifying attempts of those wanting to press ahead with the first-ever commercial mining for minerals of the seabed.
LOCATION: John Hansard Gallery, 142 - 144 Above Bar St (SO14 7DU)
