This discussion is presented in conjunction with A Singularly Marine & Fabulous Produce: the Cultures of Seaweed exhibition which opens to the public from June 15 – December 3, 2023 and is curated by Naomi Slipp, Douglas and Cynthia Crocker Endowed Chair for the Chief Curator, and Maura Coughlin, Northeastern University.
Much like the space of the shoreline itself, which is never a fixed point but always moving, shifting, and changing depending on the tide, seaweed is uniquely invigorated by its marine environment and always changing - both in form and appearance and in its cultural and social meanings and uses.
Because of this, designers, artists, photographers, and artisans have turned to it for inspiration in painting, decorative arts, and design, and as the material medium with which they have created souvenirs, mementos, and scrapbooks.
Doors open at 5:30pm, program begins in the Cook Memorial Theater promptly at 6:00pm. A cocktail reception with lite bites will follow.
Tickets are $10 for members or $20 for non-members.
