Art Walking

Claudia Zeiske and her daughter Rachel Zeiske-May arrive in Portobello to complete their walking art work, POSTCARDS FROM THE SHIFTING SHORE. The piece involved a Slow Marathon along coastlines on opposite sides of the world to generate debate on rising sea levels. The 42km walk took place simultanousely at two different locations (Firth of Forth and Cape of Good Hope, South Africa). Both Claudia and  her South African counterpart, Jaak Coetzer. walked with a red watering can, pouring water into the sea and taking water out of the sea. Each artist was accompanied by one of their adult children and en route they discussed the issues surrounding climate change, rising sea waters and what it means for them and their children’s future. Helping to bring this year's Art Walk Porty to a close.
