Discover the Power of Story and Art at the Modern Flood Myths Exhibition

This June, immerse yourself in a compelling fusion of creativity and climate consciousness at the Modern Flood Myths exhibition, hosted at Printers Playhouse. Running throughout the month during regular opening hours, this unique showcase brings together visual art and written word to explore the looming impact of climate change on Eastbourne and its surrounding communities.

The exhibition is a partnership with Blue Heart and is the culmination of a series of thought-provoking workshops where local voices, artists and writers, came together to imagine and express the future through myth, metaphor, and environmental insight.

Each piece on display is a window into a possible tomorrow, shaped by rising tides, additional surface water and shifting landscapes. From evocative paintings and installations to poignant poetry and prose, the works reflect both the anxieties and hopes of a community facing the realities of a changing climate.

The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how storytelling, ancient and modern, can help us process environmental change and inspire action. It’s a space where creativity meets urgency, and where every visitor is encouraged to consider their own role in shaping the future.

Whether you're an art lover, a climate advocate, or simply curious, the Modern Flood Myths exhibition offers a powerful and moving experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with local talent and pressing global themes in a meaningful and imaginative way. Head to Printers Playhouse this June and be part of the conversation—because the stories we tell today can shape the world we live in tomorrow.
