If I Were A Merperson

An immersive under-the-ocean installation with live dance and Chinese pole performance centred on the UN’s 30x30 initiative to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. 

​

In collaboration with installation artist Alice Helps (www.alicehelpsdesign.org)

​

Currently funding-dependent, the first phase will be an R+D, culminating in focus-group sessions at the Science Gallery London, before development into a large-scale experience.

​

There will be an opportunity for the public to play the role of environmental consultant, sitting with a GIS specialist to identify a good protected area, designing a map to be emailed to them. 

​

Ways to take action will be provided in order to make a tangible impact including:

• Sign an open letter to the local MP

• Learn about consumer habits that support ocean conservation via QR code

• Sign up to volunteer at a conservation organisation

The aim is to provide various options, so that people can select an impactful action based on what suits them.

​

Here you can see examples of mine and Alice's previous work, to get a sense of how the collaboration may manifest.

Updates to come!
