Join us for an immersive writing experience from Paperboats that is part performance and part writing opportunity. Discover how literature can be used as an inspirational force for change by engaging with success stories of sea rewilding, as well as sights and sounds of the ocean. Together, we’ll celebrate the vitality of our ocean life. ‘There is a Tide’ will culminate with a reading from acclaimed Scottish poet, Roshni Gallagher. Paperboats is a collective of writers focussed on nature and environment in a time of climate and ecological breakdown. Scotland-based and global in outlook, they write to affirm the astonishing life of this planet.
