Mermaids, beautiful trash, and misschiff abound as you explore the flooded future of underwater Seattle as the freaky Mer-creature you always knew you were. Rampant commodification and exploitation of the world's resources have led to the ocean swallowing all our favorite shit, how fun! Watch as the freaky new mermaid society does their best to make treasure out of what fell from humanities collective booty.

Merlantis will be a 4000 sqft immersive installation homage to everything MERculture. You want mermaids?! There will be mermaids, or you'll be a mermaid, who knows!! You want crabs??? Nevermind that, but we will have a giant kinky CRAB TRAP that you or your loved one might get stuck in. It’s like a washing machine that smells like kelp on a sunny day.

 

On Saturday, December 27th you have the opportunity to help us create this vision.

Come dance the night astray and get your flippers right in the art.

Come fill the CHUM wall with YOUR CHUM.

Add to the Trash-Chihuli ceiling, Trashuli for short.

Bring your CLEAN plastic waste: bottles, shiny plastics, strong plastics, plastics you put things in.

Fucking clean it first! A bag of plastic probably gets you a drink token?

We also accept pretty ocean’y items: shells, shiny fabrics, half used cans of colorful paint, etc.

Meet a mermaid, wear a salmon hat, get your head stuck in 6-pack can rings, think about life on land?
