Critical Coast

Critical Coast' is a cross-disciplinary reader that explores the ecologies and spaces of coastal landscapes, the urgencies of contemporary coastlands, and diachronic ideas about coastal futures. In continuation of the exhibition 'Coastal Imaginaries' curated by Josephine Michau in the Danish Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura di Venezia 2023, the book presents a series of artistic representations, essays, poetry, found material, visual suites, fairy tales, and empirical conversations with numerous international voices such as Dipesh Chakrabarty, Emanuele Coccia, Rebecca Solnit, Susannah Drake, Inuuteq Storch, Amitav Ghosh, Jane da Mosto, Katherine Richardson, Superflex, Bathsheba Demuth, Hans Christian Andersen, Amalie Smith, Rakel Haslund-Gjerrild, Kim Stanley Robinson and many others. Critical Coast comes in the format of a handbook made in a durable hardcover that readers can bring along into the field.
