The Land of the Summer People is an art-science research collaboration between the artist Seila Fernández Arconada and Cabot Institute member Thorsten Wagener, Professor of Water and Environmental Engineering. It explores the unstable relationship between society, water and place by exploring flood impact in Somerset, England. Using creative and scientific methods this multidisciplinary project applies participatory research to understand societal response to extreme weather events.

Join us on the 25th March in the Exeter Community Centre from 6 pm - 8.30 pm for an art exhibition of work jointly developed by regional artists Seila Fernandez Arconada, Jon England, Andrea Oke, Deborah Westmancoat and PhD students of the Water Informatics in Science and Engineering (WISE) Centre for Doctoral Training jointly run by the Universities of Exeter, Cardiff, Bath and Bristol.
