Travel the "Seven Seas" in history, literature, art and film - this summer at Avery Point! Read and discuss ancient and contemporary texts from the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Atlantic, the Pacific and other salty areas of the world. View and compare art forms that embody socio-political and aesthetic perspectives in different maritime contexts. Try your own hands at analog and digital art and writing to converse with authors, historians, artists and everyday observers what it is like to experience the maritime world above (and below) the surface of world oceans.
