Cape Farewell Expedition 2011

Julie is thrilled to be joining this expedition in Summer 2011. She will be posting regular updates on her twitter account before, during (if possible!) and after. Here is some info on the project.

About Cape Farewell

In 2001 the artist David Buckland created Cape Farewell to instigate a cultural response to climate change. A small team works alongside partners and collaborators at the centre of an ambitious programme of activity with climate science at its core. Cape Farewell has brought together leading artists, writers, scientists, educators and media for a series of expeditions to hot spots of climate change. Together they have mapped, measured and been inspired by this awesome environment and have endeavoured to bring home stories and artworks that tell how a warming planet is impacting on the wilderness and us.

2011 Expedition: Scotland's Islands and the Faroes:

In July 2011 Cape Farewell embarks on its biggest project yet, in partnership with Cove Park: a month-long expedition by boat across the Scottish islands from Oban across the Western Isles of Scotland to Lewis.

After eight journeys to the high Arctic and one to the Peruvian Amazon, we are bringing the notion and experience of expedition home to the UK, with an exploration of island ecologies and cultures, and of the strategies for sustainable and resilient futures being implemented across the Scottish Western Isles.

Our crew of 10 will rotate each week, and is made up of island artists, storytellers, film makers, playwrights, architects, designers, musicians, community leaders, social scientists, ecologists, marine biologists, oceanographers, poets, acclaimed Gaelic singers and a Michelin-starred chef.
