Sculpture, storytelling and soundscapes have illuminated UK beaches from Scotland to Norfolk in a month-long arts festival celebrating the beauty of our coastlines, and highlighting their fragility in the face of climate change.
Beach of Dreams, backed by Historic England and Art Council England and presented by arts charity Kinetika, ran from May to 1 June featuring eight commissioned art works.
It kicked off in Tilbury, home to the so-called ‘beach of broken dreams’ – a stretch of foreshore on the Thames Estuary that’s awash with debris dating back to Roman times – and concluded in Great Yarmouth.
