Intertidal Encounters ask: what are the stories cast up by intertidal being/s and how do they come to matter? The Intertidal Encounters issue explores embodied ways of being with the ebb and flow of tides and shorelines. Intertidal Encounters invite us to enter worlds at the confluence of land and water where porous states and transcorporeal merging carve out new forms of co-existence.

Entanglements at these watery edges extend from rivers to rock pools, where an oat and an oyster turn tides with their love story and a leap into silt is a dance with the moon; these are places where saturated sands hold memories that rise with the waves and a tender embrace dissolves into salt.

Come and join us at the water’s edge.
