A programme of mostly free events and activities that fall under the sustainability themes of energy, food, waste, plastic, nature and transport. So far we have nature walks, cooking demos, a plastic recycling machine, yarn bombing, a solar charger making workshop and a big event at the Stade on September 30th to showcase local producers and organisations. More about the programme very soon. Find out more at http://www.sustainabilityonsea.org.uk/ ZEROH mOTHer One October morning in 2010 Hastings and St Leonards woke up to find a series of strange motifs on walls scattered across the town, subtle geometrical imprints that have now all, but for a few, faded away. The Moths became a talking point over the years stories grew around them, they seemed to inspire a sense of folklore. For Coastal Currents 2018 we plan to explore this notion of mythology through story-telling and interactive digital works.
