ARTIST'S CHOICE | THE BIG SEA
The Big Sea is an exploration of the human and environmental costs of neoprene production in ‘Cancer Alley’, Louisiana.
Neoprene is a material often used to make wetsuits and the film uses the lens of surfing to expose issues of greenwashing, social justice and environmental racism, and to explore the power individuals have to create change.
Artist Andy Hughes, will introduce the film. Hughes learnt to surf in the late 1980s while studying Fine Art at Cardiff University. Inspired by waves and water, he has developed a practice focused on the nature of plastic waste and the ‘littoral zone’ – the area where land meets the sea. As part of his introduction, he will share two of his own short video works.
