Seaweed in the Fruit Locker
Sunday, 26 March
12-1pm
This LGBTQIA+ sea shanty choir was formed in 2022 by Rhys Morgan as part of his Give & Takeover commission exploring queer motifs within seafaring history and collective performance in marginalized communities through the tradition of shanty singing. The choir have used their lived experience to rework existing shanties and inspire new ones, continuing the tradition of these folk songs being adapted time and again through generations. Musical exchanges are also part of the AOUS story as Frobisher’s crew and Inuit sang and made noise with bells and trumpets. During the 19th century whaling industry and further contact between Inuit and Europeans, sea shanties became part of an Inuit tradition. Inuit adopted and transformed the shanty, fiddle and jig dancing into Indigenous form. Seaweed in the Fruit Locker similarly aims to transform shanties, with their roots in the work songs of enslaved African peoples, into songs of liberation and joy.
