About this Event
To accompany Anastasia Eggers’ exhibition Sounding the Line, local writer Lotte L.S. will lead two sessions exploring the strange and varied worlds gathered around herring and the sea: the fishing crews of East Anglia recorded by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger for a 1960s radio ballad; the female fishworker strikes in Great Yarmouth in the 1930s; poetry by Daphne Marlatt and Charles Olson; and Mark Jenkin’s uncanny films of Cornwall, where the disintegration of labour and maritime life in the region leaves it pinned between nostalgia and an uncertain future.
The two sessions will consist of reading, listening, watching, talking and writing.
