If you could ask the water in the harbourside a question, what would you ask it - and what might it say?
Young people aged 8-14 and their grown-ups are invited to join us in the Pervasive Media Studio to find out!
To celebrate Earth Day, sound artist Duncan Speakman will host a session exploring our connection with the environments we inhabit and what it means to be in conversation with the natural world.
The session will culminate in a hands-on activity outside, suspending hydrophones (underwater microphones) into the harbour to experience what life sounds like under the water.
This session is part of Watershed’s Wild and Generous programme.
