The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum presents a special preview screening of the short film The Salt on Our Skin accompanied by a discussion with a panel of distinguished speakers from the Chumash Community and Mission Cahuilla Tribe.
The Salt on Our Skin explores parallel connections between several communities on our coast as they own and reclaim their narrative to carve a space across the channel, on shore, or in the deep sea. The ebb and flow of waves has always been a source of energy for ocean communities and cultures. From time immemorial, the rich coastal environment has fostered diversity of people and nature. It has been a place of joy, gathering, and reflection. However, local barriers have deterred or prevented the gathering of many groups in southern California.
The lecture series is sponsored by Marie L. Morrisroe.
