FishArt is a 10-month international project funded by the New European Bahahus Cross-KIC Connect 2024 that promotes a radically participatory art and education process supporting the requalification of the Fishermen’s Harbour in the coastal city of Anzio, Italy.
It raises awareness and public acceptance of sustainable behaviours against marine and coastal pollution and promotes the synergic and co-creative transformation of a functional but degraded public space into a place for community life. Building upon the local ecosystem analysis, the wide social network and the results of the recent EU project “SeaPaCS”, FishArt envisages multistakeholder workshops with target groups (fishermen and artists cooperatives) and local stakeholders (administrations, students, associations, migrants, seagoing people, businesses and enterprises, scientists); multidisciplinary (social geography, oceanography, communication) and multi-sectorial (fisherman, artists, businesses) learning sessions; a Living Lab for co-design and realisation of artistic works and a final FishArt Event.
