Artist Shezad Dawood and Writer Daisy Hildyard In Conversation

This event is part of the Scarborough Lights programme 2024.

Developed through dialogue with scientists, conservationists and local community groups, Ambiguous Machines conceives a coastal future affected by climate change, including rising sea temperatures and levels.

Come and hear Dawood and Hildyard share the inspirations behind the artwork, an Augmented Reality trail and accompanying story which weaves together science, storytelling, myth and local knowledge to explore an imagined future where human and marine species have evolved to become fused or hybrid. Following the event there will also be the opportunity to visit the three sites along Scarborough’s seafront with Dawood and Hildyard to experience the AR pieces in the twilight.
