The climate crisis is the defining issue of our time. Yet, its effects are not evenly felt. A new exhibition, Rising Tide: Art and Environment in Oceania, shows contemporary responses by Indigenous Australian and Pacific Islander artists. 🌊nms.ac.uk/risingtide 📸©Andy Catlin

Catching up on a great week at National Museum of Scotland collections. Here I’m identifying 180 year old specimens from West. Aust. while the rest of the #entangledknowledges team are interpreting Menang language, knowledge and culture as well as historical links for the fishes.

Tchark (Menang name) or Mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus as painted by Robert Neill in Albany, south Western Australia in 1841. So beautiful to see this in real life at the NHM. #entangledknowledges

Really BAD decision - upset that Kettles Yard will now charge for entry to the house! It completely goes against Jim Edes ethos of having the collection open and available to everyone.. to pop in for free whenever and see inspiring art!

Popped over to North Berwick yesterday to see the gorgeous mural and amazing but heart wrenching exhibition @SeabirdCentre on plastics found in the sea. 1/3

Over 100 days @lilbeachcomber undertook 100 beach cleans at Longniddry in East Lothian. The exhibition and mural are the resulting outcomes of this work which will hopefully make people think more about their relationship with plastics and their environment. 2/3

We know marine plastic is a huge problem, killing seabirds and marine mammals, but seeing the sheer amount of it in the local waters, collected over a really short space of time is an incredibly powerful reminder that more work needs to be done both personally & collectively. 3/3

Last week was our final week with kids from @PiltonYouthProj, we froze ourselves on the beach looking for trash, visited the collection centre then turned the trash into art! All looking ahead to working with us again and @GeorgeNukuArt in summer!

This zoo in Edinburgh ran for about 20 yrs till the late 1850s. It was sited on 7 acres more or less where East Claremont St is today. I'm losing my@mind that I did not know this before. Amazing. #research
