Welcome to T I D A L, our digital arts programme which explored Barrow’s coastal environment & the climate emergency through free development opportunities including talks, workshops and engagements with the coast throughout 2023 to 2024.
TIDAL explores the unique proximity of the urban centre of Barrow-in-Furness with the coastlines that outline it. Working with leading artists, creatives, communities and organisations, we aimed to reframe and investigate what the coast means to people.
