Living Coast is an exhibition of art, music, film, poetry and spoken word about the people, land and sea of Yorkshire’s South Holderness region.
Spurn Point is the southern-most tip of the East Yorkshire coastline whose 700-year history of human habitation came to an end in 2023. This exhibition presents artworks created during a project that took place between January and May 2024, which explored the unique entanglement of the transient geography and human occupancy of the ever-shifting South Holderness coast.
Through interviews with current and past residents (including farmers, artists, historians and ecologists), and working alongside the Spurn Bird Observatory, researchers from the University of Hull have created a series of artistic responses that explore the rapid geogogical, social and environmental transformations of the unique landscape of South Holderness.
Open daily 10am-5pm, with late opening to 7pm on Tuesdays.
