UiT Environmental humanities gathering #24: Living with the Ocean – A Coastal Exhibition in Becoming

Zoheb Mashiur will introduce the exhibition Living with the Ocean that is curated by researchers from UiT’s CRAFT lab. This exhibition will be launched in a fishing village in Portugal in April 2024. As this is a work in progress, we invite participants to brainstorm with us and comment on curatorial practices.  

Date and time: 24th January, 13.15-15.00. UPDATE: we will meet in ILP 1.005 (or on zoom - see below for link). Please register using this form: https://nettskjema.no/a/391709

Zoheb Mashiur is an interdisciplinary researcher with a thematic focus on postcolonialism, race, gender, and migration, and is also a creative writer and designer.

The CRAFT lab is an interdisciplinary research group at the Norwegian College of Fishery Science, BFE/UiT. Our common core is Critical Futures Studies, in which we engage in collaboration with researchers at HSL/UiT as well as with other organizations.

The Living with the Ocean exhibition is part of the EU/EEA sponsored project Center for Coastal Culture. Our partners are the Sesimbra Maritime Museum, the Norwegian Maritime Museum, and several fishery organizations in Norway and Portugal.
