Creative international interventions 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 June 2022, A Sea Change is a project co-funded by the European Union and is focused on promoting creative innovation around the Blue Economy practices through interdisciplinary and intermedia arts, as well as artistic and curatorial research.
Culminating in Barcelona with an exhibition in 2024, the project will develop between Croatia, Cyprus, Greece and Spain, and is led by Kontejner (HR) in collaboration with MOMus (GR), NeMe (CY), and Quo Artis (ES) as partner organisations. During 2022-2024, 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.
The activities of A Sea Change (workshops, artistic residencies, public programmes, 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.
Objectives
- To bring new and sustainable cultural practices to coastal communities.
