Support
Alone in space, alone in its life-supporting systems, powered by inconceivable energies, mediating them to us through the most delicate adjustments, wayward, unlikely, unpredictable but nourishing, enlivening and enriching in the largest degree – is this not a precious home for all of us earthlings? Does it not deserve all the inventiveness, courage and generosity of which we are capable to preserve it from degradation and destruction and, by doing so, secure our own survival?

The Lynchpin program offers a meeting place between disciplines – a place of exploration and possibility.
If you would like to join us in supporting ocean science and encouraging art-science conversations and collaborations, you can do so:
- by supporting one of our scholarships;
- by naming funding support for a particular project e.g. a musical or visual arts response to science; or
- by offering unattached funding.
If you are an artist
– visual/sonic/installation or performance artist/writer:poetry or prose – and are interested in being part of this collaborative venture with young ocean scientists keen to share their research, we would love to hear from you.
