This project reimagines the coastal edge of Newfoundland in the year 2101 - a year beyond the predictions of our current climate science. In this future, cultural artifacts of coastal Newfoundland are increasingly threatened by rising seas; a threat largely created by the global extraction and burning of fossil fuels. At this juncture, one begins to recognise the inherent ironies of an island so dependent on its coastline for identity yet tethered to the economies of oil extraction. The narrative of this project describes the UNESCO world heritage site of L’anse aux Meadows, as it may be observed in the year 2101.

The project was developed within the context of Carleton University.
