The People Will Possess The Wind

The People Will Possess The Wind aims to delight, provoke and crucially generate debate around the generation of energy.

Through sailing on the Estuary, live choir performances, film, mass-distribution publications, and online materials, the project is designed to inspire us to question the nature of our relationship to The Wind.

Whether it’s a soft South Westerly from the Atlantic or an iron-cold North Easterly, The People Will Possess The Wind challenges us to question where these winds come from, who they belong to, whose energy is harnessed by the turbines off Herne Bay and Shoeburyness (owned by Swedish multinational Vattenfall) and the difference between ownership and possession.

Saturday 21 June & Sunday 22 June
Choir performances, sailing and publication available in: Canvey, Southend Pier, Hampton Pier, Herne Bay and Sheerness
