The Archival Oyster
Eco-print using plants local to Apalachicola, FL, silkscreen and xerox lithography of archival and recent images.
The Archival Oyster Project if a collaboration between Sara Inácio, Joanna Booth and Adrian Cato seeking to unearth narratives of multispecies kinship that emerge from the ‘Forgotten Coast’ on the Florida Panhandle. Oysters represent both an old and well-known industry and a supposed new ‘frontier’ for coastal livelihoods and living shorelines. Through the process of Oral History and Printmaking this work discusses the oyster from voices, narratives, and stories of queer and BIPOC communities which are often unheard in the seafood industry.
