14th May 2016. Earlier this month, the Newlyn Art School contacted NCI Penzance and offered the station the opportunity to have a display promoting the work of the station during an exhibition by the artist and filmmaker John Akomfrah.

John Akomfrah’s Vertigo Sea is a three-screen, 48-minute meditation on mankind’s relationship with the sea that fuses dramatic footage from the BBC’s Natural History Unit, the British Film Institute and newly shot tableaux in the Isle of Skye, the Faroe Islands and Norway. The exhibition takes place at the Exchange art gallery in Princes Street in Penzance and runs until the end of June.

The gallery have also created a space to accompany Vertigo Sea to further explore the themes raised within the exhibition and invited groups and charities involved in causes highlighted to display posters and information, and NCI Penzance have been invited to give a short presentation on the work of our charity.
