This stop motion video was created by students Olivia Edginton, Julia Hope and Genevieve Rae and uses paper, cellophane and ink to explore the relationship between waka and climate change action.
The Pacific ocean and the island nations that lie within it are being impacted by rising sea levels and temperatures, storms of unprecedented scale, and environmental damage to underwater ecosystems.
This is our future normal.
Waka are first-hand witnesses to the way climate change is affecting the Pacific. This work’s aim is to provide a provocation to acknowledge that the earth sustains all life, including our own. We should connect to our environment and claim responsibility for climate change.
