Por qué asistir

A growing field of arts and ecology is an important partner for transformative conservation. TBA21-Academy (Spain/ Italy) has been at the forefront of culture and ocean literacy for a decade. Learn about their work with arts, science and conservation, with Alligator Head Foundation (Jamaica) and Aeon Collective (Saudi Arabia).

Descripción de la sesión

Transitioning to nature positive societies requires deep cultural shifts fostering the re-connection of nature and culture: this session explores the capacity for arts practice and artistic research to support this paradigm shift while collaborating with conservation actors. We’ll share insights from a decade of TBA21 Academy’s and AEON’s work blending art, science, philosophy, and Indigenous knowledge to advocate for ocean literacy worldwide, as well as practical examples of community-based, landscape-scale marine restoration in Jamaica with the Alligator Head Foundation, ITC and TBA21.

The 2 hour deep dive will follow an interactive format. The first half offers presentations and a guided tour of an online art exhibition. The second half provides facilitated discussions through online world-cafe for attendees to explore possibilities for artistic practice in their own conservation contexts, from policy, engagement and research collaborations, building critical dialogue with diverse conservation practitioners.
