ARTPORT_making waves – Germany
ARTPORT_WE ARE OCEAN is a transdisciplinary art project implying multiple stakeholders (artists, students, scientists, policy makers, teachers, curators, activists) worldwide to raise awareness and engage in dialogue about the environmental condition of the ocean and the role humans play in its current and future state.
The program started in 2019 and will engage with numerous countries until 2030 to work particularly with young and underprivileged people around the question of how we interact with the ocean and how interdependent humans and the ocean are. The overall goal is to raise scientific and political awareness and provide education through the arts, particularly among young people. From 2026 we aim at implementing real solutions on the ground together with communities.
Start Date: 17/01/2021
