Crossing disciplines and biomes, the Be the Sea project is interested in soundscapes and acoustic ecology to map where the land meets the sea.

What are the sounds of the coastline that first come to your mind? Can you imagine how you’d map them?

Commissioned by Sea AIR, part of SeaScapes Co/Lab the creative engagement project for SeaScapes. Be the Sea asks:

how we can become more capable of living with and not just on the coast – in ways that are mutually sustainable with fellow human and non-human beings?
