Imagining Godzilla residency trip

I've been selected to join Imagining Godzilla for a four-day leg this summer. The residency is run by artists Merja Puustinen and Andy Best, and has been bringing artists and researchers onto the catamaran Godzilla since 2019, working the Baltic with a focus on its ecology — pollution, biodiversity loss, the pressures the sea is under. This summer they're in the northern Gulf of Bothnia.

I'll be onboard from 28 June, departing Obbola just outside Umeå, and arriving in Luleå on 1 July. The route takes in Stora Fjäderägg, Holmön, Ratan and Munkviken .

I'll be filming and making field recordings throughout.
