InTheSaltSpace is all about time spent at the sea's edge. A space full of natural change. A powerful meeting of elements and timescales. A space that can feed us and offer us a chance to review who we are, what we do, and how we do it. Where, in a creative and collaborative way, we might ground ourselves and release the societal burdens we carry, in order to consider together some of the larger issues at hand. 

InTheSaltSpace directly, specifically and consciously encourages and supports women, in particular, to step out of their usual spaces and busy timetables, into this space that is completely OTHER. Releasing ourselves from all our usual domestic and cultural expectations, all the agendas and roles we normally bear in other spaces whether domestic, civic or professional; a clean space that allows us to move towards our most authentic selves and perhaps our most important creative work. 

The first steps on this journey have been a pilot series of Bude-based days with small groups of local women, comprising accessible arts practices, observational prompts, and sharing some of the science of climate change. Phase 2 is now developing directly out of that work, shaped by the profound outcomes, feedback, thoughts & views of our Pilot participants and the project team.
