In a collaboration with Lyth Arts Centre in Wick, the MASTS Marine Renewable Energy Forum and People Ocean Planet initiative supported artist Morag Currie in a residency through spring and summer 2021, using traditional music techniques to engage public audiences while exploring the topic of marine renewable energy and ‘just transitions’.
