⛴The spectacular crew for the 7th Pelion Summer Lab will soon make landfall in Neochori
🌏 From Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong to Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and Albania, from Colombia and Puerto Rico to Spain, Italy, France, the UK to Canada, the US and, let's not forget, Greece, this is our biggest and maybe most international cohort ever!
🗣Even though our working language will be English, at the mess table and the crew's quarters, one will likely here many of the 21 languages - from Arabic, Persian, Italian, Spanish, French, Turkish, Tamil, Cantonese, Lithuanian, Norwegian - spoken by this cohort - many of the languages that historically have animated the Mediterrean waters.
🌊Geographers, philosophers, novelists, filmmakers, poets, anthropologists, literary scholars, curators, environmental scientists, visual artists, curators, composers, dancers and, of course, sailors, the crew have navigated ports and coasts from Beirut to the Arctic, Recife to Galata, Puerto Rico to New York, and studied and intervened in struggles over labor, fishing, pollution, privitization and more.
⚓For ten days, this fab crew will moor in Neochori, Pelion. We cannot wait to meet and learn from them!
