What sounds lie beneath the water’s surface?

@DJCdelahaye's piece in our exhibition entwines the bio-acoustic ‘voices’ of freshwater bugs and sounds of aquatic plant with poetry readings from our #Malaysia collaboratory, creating an interspecies dialogue beyond human perception.

[Water Security Hub @GCRFWaterHub]

Alongside our exhibition we're running a series of creative workshops.

Today, artist Maura Hawkes led a group through making their own woodcut stamp, inspired by animals and plants from around the River Tyne!
