The Embassy of Nowhere
LANDING Hub
Sunday 30 June, 10.30am-1pm
Artist, Alex McLean from Zuppa theatre company based in Canada is partnering with Lancaster Arts on a project called This is Nowhere, which will take place in Morecambe in 2025. At the end of the 16th century, the cartographer Abraham Ortelius made a map of Utopia and referred to an imagined, perfect society. Utopia literally translates as ‘no place’ or ‘nowhere’. What does it mean to imagine such a place? How does it relate to the real world through which we move?
The Embassy of Nowhere is a place to map and document the ways we find meaning in our natural and built environments. On large maps of Morecambe, participants will draw, record and share your own impressions and stories of what this place means to you. No booking required. No booking required.
