This panel explores how public art, particularly large-scale murals, can make ocean issues visible, emotional, and urgent. Through a conversation with artists, institutional leaders, and creative changemakers, we’ll dive into how place-based storytelling fosters ocean literacy, inspires interdisciplinary collaboration, and builds community connection.

Re-Oceaning is a call to reconnect with the Ocean through sound, memory, and deep listening. Inspired by the idea that water is our first sensory memory, Re-Oceaning invites us to listen back, to reawaken our connection to the Ocean, and to remember that we are not separate from it. We all come from the water. It holds our earliest rhythm, our first breath. We are shaped by it, sustained by it, and responsible for protecting it.
