Okeanos is looking forward to supporting ARTPORT in 2025 and bringing the WE ARE OCEAN project to a school in Hesse. Since 2019, WE ARE OCEAN has been bringing together artists, art collectors and curators, pupils, students and teachers, scientists and political decision-makers in many places around the world to raise awareness of the environmental state of the ocean and the role of humans in its current and future state. The aim is to encourage children and young people in particular to act responsibly through artistic processes. ARTPORT is an international curatorial collective that works at the interface of art, science and extracurricular education for climate protection and marine conservation. Since 2005, the collective has been drawing attention to the causes, consequences and possible solutions of climate change for nature and people through thematic exhibitions, film productions, competitions, workshops, conferences and educational programs. As a pioneer in this field, ARTPORT has already brought together numerous experts from various fields, especially from the arts, science, education and politics, and has collaborated with numerous leading international organizations, including the United Nations, governments, schools, universities, museums and festivals.
