Fine Art Research Unit (FARU) Talk: Rosanna Greaves

Rosanna will present her recent research, focusing on her film, The Flaming Rage of The Sea, and associated curated exhibition, Liquid Land, 2018. Both were supported by Arts Council England and commissioned by Debating Natures Value Network, an academic network that explores the concept of ‘natural capital’, the idea that nature should be conceived of as a form of capital and valued in monetary terms. Rosanna’s poetic film explores the constructed landscape of Cambridgeshire Fenlands a region below sea level, and offers alternative relational value systems to those driven by financial imperatives, through the embodied experience of landscape.
