About
The exhibition is part of a year-long project with the Hastings Fishermen’s Protection Society, celebrating the unique knowledge, skills and practices of the Hastings fishing fleet and preserving them for future generations.
At the centre of the project will be the presentation of an oral history archive, collected and curated by Hastings Fishermen’s Protection Society and artist Mary Hooper. Hooper will create an immersive sound installation, The Sun Feeds the Wind, in Hastings Contemporary’s Foreshore Gallery (29 March – 14 September 2025), giving voice to the fishing community which surrounds the gallery.
The exhibition will be designed by Jane Bruce and will include moving image by artist and filmmaker Nichola Bruce and video designer Sam Sharples. Interpretation from the fishing community will be woven into the exhibitions and programme of events, including text, tours, recordings, talks and workshops.
