Synopsis

Temperatures rise, oceans acidify, storms roll in, coast lines shimmer and degrade. Stories bubble up, mythology, folklore, tales of a perilous sea, communal rituals for protection and harmony with nature. RESTLESS SEA is an immersive installation exploring climate resilience in coastal Hebridean communities, a chain of islands west of Scotland.
