Waterfront is a public art project produced by Radix Theatre in the summer of 2018 exploring public perceptions about sea level rise.

With sea levels predicted to increase between 1 - 9 metres by 2100, Waterfront participants explored Vancouver’s False Creek area to imagine what that might look like. Armed with beach chairs and umbrellas, the group established temporary ‘seaside’ gatherings at various locations up to 9m, generating interactions with passers-by. The goal of the project was to provide a focus for dialogue and a plea for action to mitigate what is to come.

Waterfront was conceived by Radix Associate Andreas Kahre and funded by the City of Vancouver Public Art Department. Produced in partnership with the Vancouver Parks Board.
