A project examining alternative ways of knowing and narrating with ocean environments, as a response to the planetary-scale environmental crises and dominant understandings of matter as inanimate and agentless. Incorporating post-anthropocentric and new materialist theory, marine and auto-ethnographic research, and novel tool testing practice.
This work presents a process of place-based learning and narrative generation. Demonstrating the potential power of worlding and mythology to engender new/old understandings and generate between human actants and the more-than-human of ocean environments.
