SeaScapes is a four-year programme of focused activity, with projects taking place under four main themes, all aiming to boost visibility and shift the focus of individuals and communities to better understanding and protecting our oceans and coastline. A series of events, engagement and interpretation is woven throughout to ensure we are meaningfully connecting as many people and communities to the seascape as possible.

Through participatory research and acoustic mapping, the goal is to foster a stronger sense of stewardship and appreciation for the marine heritage and seascape among coastal communities.

Seascapes: Sound Mirrors

Soundmirror is a participatory artwork that listens to and reflects the soundscapes of coastal environments through the sites of First World War sound mirrors in the north east today. The online artwork created by Rob Smith invites people to add to a database of sounds and examines how ‘listening’ to the contemporary coastal environment can enable the site of the sound mirror to emerge from the intersection of technologies and shared histories. By questioning what the sound mirror’s continuing role in the contemporary landscape is, Soundmirror creates a space that can enable connections with the site of the mirror to expand beyond simply being an historic location. In this episode, we hear from lead artist; Rob Smith, Hannah Fishburn from OASES, Robin Daniels from Tees Archeology & Diane Stephens, manager of the Heugh Battery Museum.

Seascapes: Blue Wave

Blue Wave is a dance project that seeks to co-create an authentic connection between coastal communities and their natural marine heritage through dance. Blue Wave was co-created with female members of Friends of the Drop in for Asylum Seekers and Refugees (FODI) and Sangini (a BME-led, multicultural women’s arts organisation) and the North East Migration Project (NEMP). The dance project drew inspiration from what can be seen, heard and felt at the coast, from the movement of waves to the flora and fauna that call it home. Participants were supported to explore their own relationship with their coastal environment and how this connection can be expressed creatively through dance. In this episode, we hear from lead artist; Constance Humphries, Bluscapes Officer; Sarah Campbell, general manager for the National Trust; Eric Wilton & dancer; Tracey West.

In this episode, Geologist David Roberts talks about how the Blast Beach project came about and how the artist and ex-mining communities were crucial to the project.
