PANEL
Presented by: Ocean World of Sound
Hosted within the Tidal Shifts exhibition, this dynamic conversation brings together artists, scientists, and educators who, despite diverse backgrounds, have all chosen a similar approach: using transdisciplinarity, art, and community action as tools for marine conservation. The discussion focuses on Ocean Literacy Principle 6 (the ocean and humans are inextricably connected) and aligns with the UN Ocean Decade Challenge 10 (restore humanity’s elationship with the ocean). Together, we will explore how creative methodologies, co-creation models, and community-based storytelling can reimagine our collective responsibility to the ocean. This session invites participants to reflect on the value of working across disciplines andcultures to create more inclusive and impactful ocean narratives. From indigenous wisdom and artisanal knowledge to science and visual storytelling, the panel offers a rich exploration of how we can build a shared culture of care for the ocean.Join us for a conversation that is both grounded and imaginative, an opportunity to listen, ask uestions, and leave inspired.
