This weekend there will be a series of arts-based public engagement events in Kirkcaldy related to climate change, waste, and creativity.
There are still a few spaces left on the beach walks (Sat 30th May 11am-1pm, or Sunday 31st May 11am-1pm).
On Saturday join Sonic Intangibles for a family-friendly sound and data walk on Seafield Beach. Through listening, simple sonic experiments, and scientific data, participants will discover hidden stories of coastal erosion, pollution, and future seascapes – and experience the environment in a whole new way by hearing it.
On Sunday join artists Minty Donald and Nick Millar for a guided walk along Seafield Beach. Through gentle, hands-on activities, participants will notice waste and changing shorelines. Using a mix of materials, including items found on the beach, we will create signs and communication devices for humans and other beach-users now and in the future.
