A Sea Change

2022-2024 

Share

A creative international intervention in cultural and natural ecologies related to the Mediterranean Sea

A Sea Change is an international cooperation project between KONTEJNER (HR) as lead partner, MOMus - Experimental Center for the Arts (GR), NeME (CY) and Quo Artis Foundation (ES). Starting in June 2022, it is a project co-funded by the European Union and focused on promoting creative innovation around Blue Economy practices through interdisciplinary and intermedia arts, as well as artistic and curatorial research.

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES:

Interdisciplinary symposium
UPF Barcelona, march 2023
Quo Artis will host a symposium together with University Pompeu Fabra (UPF) around Blue Economy practices and the interdisciplinary approach to marine and coastal sustainability and education in different Mediterranean communities, with an emphasis on the city of Barcelona and its European context. Participants will consist of academics from the fields of economics, art, marine literature, philosophy and environmental sciences, as well as interventions by local artists, the event will raise issues and urgencies around urban design, the well-being of the coastal communities and ecosystems of Barcelona and its surroundings. 

 

Sound and land art workshop with Joaquín Jara and Andrea Lamount
La Ricarda, El Delta del Llobregat, Barcelona, march 2023
The symposium will be followed by a workshop on sound art and body connection with the marine ecosystem of the Llobregat Delta. It will be carried out in collaboration with 2 artists from Barcelona; the sound artist Andrea Lamount, founder of Sound Earth Legacy, the first NGO working to preserve the acoustic legacy of the Earth, and the environmental sculptor Joaquín Jara. Through the use of listening and recording materials, as well as proposals for connecting with the environment by touch, drawing or smell, the workshop will consist of a tour of the Delta area, recently threatened by the possible expansion of the Prat airport. Listening to the marine ecosystem and the sounds of airplanes, and interacting with the local flora and land, the workshop will collect and recover the sound, visual and haptic ecosystem.

 

  

Culminating in Barcelona with an exhibition in 2024, the project will develop between Croatia, Cyprus, Greece and Spain. During this time, partner and collaborating organisations will get involved with different communities to catalyse a positive impact on the environment, the marine ecosystem and the well-being of coastal populations, with special emphasis on Blue Economy urgencies both at the local and European level. The project will unfold across various sectors, including environmental sciences, health, tourism and design, and will involve a series of exhibitions in many countries. 

A Sea Change activities (workshops, artistic residencies, public programs, documentary screenings and educational activities) will promote and catalyse changes in local environments and will produce new works of art and intersectional collaborations to build a more sustainable, diverse and inclusive Mediterranean.
