Moby-Dick returns to Fife
Festival Marquee Hawkcraig Road, Aberdour, Fife, UKWhale-watching in the Forth meets Herman Melville, the American author of Moby-Dick, whose Fife ancestry is becoming better known.
In association with the Aberdour Cultural Association we are pleased to present an evening of whale talk, music and discussion – where past, present and future whale-related activities link arts and sciences across Fife – with citizen scientist Ronnie Mackie, cultural historian and author Dr Tom Hubbard, and sculptor Kenny Munro
From Pictish carvings of dolphins and whales to contemporary artistic responses, we can see how creativity relates to concerns about our relationship with the marine environment.
In recent years, Kinghorn has become an international hub for whale-watching and this is inspiring many creative projects and inspiring a Public Art Literary Trail across Fife. Tonight’s panel will explore Fife’s international cultural connections, with a short film about Melville’s visit to Scotland in 1856, as well as an introduction to existing and planned projects, and the chance for audience members to suggest future initiatives.
