2026/27
This exhibition has developed from a collaboration of art, humanities and science in the coastal zone of mid-Wales, facilitated by an interdisciplinary partnership between Aberystwyth Printmakers, the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences Aberystwyth University, the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, and the University of Lincoln.
By sharing knowledge of our local coastal habitat, including the growing effects of sea-level rise, and the impact of extreme weather events and storms on ecosystems and communities, a series of events, talks and walks took place between April and June 2025 that inspired members of Aberystwyth Printmakers to produce prints on the theme of the seashore.
To facilitate art-science dialogues and enable Aberystwyth Printmakers members to co-produce ideas and images for this exhibition, three local and well-known academics – Dr Jessica Adams (IBERS), Professor Mary-Ann Constantine (University of Wales) and Professor Mark Macklin (University of Lincoln) – lead a field trip to Borth and each presented their viewpoints (biological, cultural and physical) on the theme of ‘On the Seashore’ using the lens of current climate and environment crises as well as planetary health. They presented three interweaving spatial and temporal strands, which were used as a starting point and inspiration for print works.
