- Summary:
- An artist's restaging of a Venetian nautical tradition calls attention to the threats of climate change. This book documents a community art project created by artist Melissa McGill (born 1969) in 2019 that activated Venice's lagoon and canals with four large-scale regattas of traditional sailboats hoisted with hand-painted red sails.
