MCR is delighted to be working with pioneering climate change charity Cape Farewell during July and August. Based onboard the RV Song of the Whale and in partnership with Cove Park artists residence, Cape Farewell are embarking on a month-long expedition through the Hebrides from Oban to Lewis, via Mull, Rum, Eigg, Skye, Canna, Mingulay, Barra, the Uists, Heisgir, St Kilda, Harris, Lewis and the Shiants.
After eight expeditions to the high Arctic and one to the Peruvian Amazon, Cape Farewell brings the notion and experience of expedition and exchange home to local frontiers, with an exploration of island ecologies and cultures, and of the stewardship strategies for sustainable and resilient futures being implemented across the Scottish Western Isles.
The Cape Farewell team of 12 will rotate each week, and is made up of island artists, storytellers, film-makers, playwrights, architects, designers, musicians, community leaders, social scientists, ecologists, marine biologists, oceanographers, poets, acclaimed Gaelic singers and a chef.
