Bay State Without Beaches: Stories Of The Shoreline

Bay State Without Beaches: Stories of the Shoreline is a multi-media exhibit highlighting personal stories about how coastal climate change is affecting people and communities across Massachusetts, featuring photos and paintings of our treasured shoreline, ocean-inspired beats, portraits, and artwork from local artists. We believe that lived experience is just as important as scientific data when it comes to understanding climate change. These stories from community members of all ages who work, live, and play on the harbor can help us reaffirm our commitment to protect the state’s natural resources and create a new story for generations to come. Visit our online storytelling exhibition anytime to read the full stories from our participants here: [hidden] Additionally, we believe that art and storytelling can help us process and cope with climate anxiety and look towards solutions. Art & Soul Clinic will lead an interactive art workshop to create ocean-themed clay mosaics. Art & Soul Clinic provides arts resources and communal healing experiences as a form of emotional and spiritual care. Featured artists: Nedret Andre, Karen Lee Sobol, Carolyn Lewenberg, and Melissa Roberts. Light refreshments will be served. This event is co-hosted by Save the Harbor and Mass Humanities.
