Entanglements of
TIME & TIDE

IMAGINING AN OCEANIC WORLD VIEW THROUGH ART & SCIENCE


Entanglements of Time & Tide is an art-science engagement project by visual artist and researcher Sonia Mehra Chawla with the North Sea/Atlantic Ocean that explores the body of water in its poetic, ecological, economic, cultural and political capacity. Working with environmental samples and living material from the North Sea and its tidal zones, as well as archival historical scientific material, the project explores and imagines an oceanic worldview of entangled histories, symbiotic relationships, toxicity and contaminations, exploring creative tools for imaging collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene, and inspiring us to look at all life in novel and meaningful ways.
