For an upcoming exhibition at Summerhall in Edinburgh, I will be looking at coral from the vantage point of my home in Scotland, and I would like to invite you to do so as well. Though they may seem far removed from our daily lives, corals exist in intimate relationships with us. As part of the exhibition, I am hoping to display corals that we have in our homes so that we can explore why we have them, what we feel about them, and what it says about our relationships with our environment.
If you are interested in taking part, I am asking you to submit any coral – or coral-related – item you have in your home, along with a short description of the item(s). Your item(s) will be displayed as part of the exhibition and then returned to you. I will also be organising a group discussion during the exhibition, either in person or online, where we can discuss these items, their histories, and the way that our stories relate to the broader history of coral.
