WE ARE OCEAN: How interdisciplinary art projects contribute to Ocean Literacy2 films: WE ARE OCEAN Wadden Sea + WE ARE OCEAN Berlin+Brandenburg by ARTPORT_making waves (In presence of the program’s artistic director)<ul><li>Year of production: 2019</li><li>Director: Lisa Rave</li></ul> The event features two artistic short films created in the framework of WE ARE OCEAN Global Program created by ARTPORT_making waves, endorsed by UNESCO as one of the first UN Ocean Decade projects since 2021:<ul><li>WE ARE OCEAN Berlin+Brandenburg by the artist Lisa Rave in collaboration with Berlin school students</li><li>WE ARE OCEAN Wadden Sea_KUNSTReusen by the artist Insa Winkler</li></ul>Both videos were produced as a result of the respective projects in Germany.The event will be introduced by the artistic director of the program, Anne-Marie Melster. WE ARE OCEAN is an interdisciplinary art project which gathers artists, students, scientists, policy makers, art collectors, teachers, and curators in order to raise awareness and engage in dialogue about the environmental condition of the ocean and the role humans play in its current and future state. The project investigates how we interact with the ocean and how interdependent humans and the ocean are. The overall goal is to raise scientific and political awareness through the arts, particularly among young people, to stimulate behavioural change and social action and help them to act responsibly and become conscientious citizens. Ultimately, WE ARE OCEAN seeks to shift the narrative surrounding the ocean – from that of an ocean for human use and exploitation with infinite resources – to an ocean that offers numerous yet precarious benefits to humankind which is its steward and caretaker. The film WE ARE OCEAN Wadden Sea KUNSTREUSEN by the German artist Insa Winkler reflects the idea behind the project and narrates the story of the traditional fish trap fishing method which is home to the Wadden Sea and which is under risk of extinction. This local and most ecologically friendly way of fishing is an example for ocean protection and Wadden Sea protection. The artist worked with school students from the OBS School in Dorum during the summer 2022 and created a collective art work, the sculpture of the North Sea Shrimp. After its creation and a performance into the mudflat at the Dorumer Tief (Lower Saxony, Germany), the sculpture was shown at the Trilateral Wadden Sea Conference in Wilhelmshaven in November 202 and is now permanently installed in the participating school OBS Dorum, Wurster Nordseeküste, Germany. The film WE ARE OCEAN Berlin by the artist Lisa Rave reflects on a series of workshops on the topic of climate change and the ocean, which were conducted by the artist in summer 2019 with high school students in and around Berlin as part of the project WE ARE OCEAN commissioned by ARTPORT_making waves. The focus is less on the documentary depiction of those events and insights than on Rave's impressions of the encounter with various young individuals, their ways of seeing, behaving and acting as well as the contradictions with which they were more or less explicitly confronted regarding the topic. This includes their interaction with the audio- visual media. Another layer of the film incorporates sounds and moods that more freely take up the concrete place of Berlin and the abstract space of association of the sea in order to engross both conditions as a discursive and aesthetic interface."
