Jersey artists studying island’s seaweed links get grant

“This support allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the Vraiqu’sie Project, expanding our research and creative exploration in ways that would not have been possible individually.

“The scholarship reinforces the collaborative nature of our work, mirroring the communal practice of vraicing itself – rooted in shared effort, tradition and connection.”

The artists will share the grant money to contribute to the project, which could include sculptures, songs and seaweed-themed costumes.

A spokesperson for Société Jersiaise said: “Their [the collective’s] goal is to emotionally reconnect people with seaweed – Jersey’s intangible cultural heritage – through art, offering a transformative experience that ties together community, land and nature.”
