"Subantarctica" is an outdoor photography exhibition showcasing the work of Under The Pole’s scientific underwater expeditions. From Antarctica’s marine ecosystems to the makeshift laboratories set up on board, it tells the story of an adventure where the exploration of the most extreme oceans meets the beauty of the world it reveals.

In *The Starry Sand Beach* by Nina Barbier and Hsin-Chien Huang, set to original music by Armand Amar, discover the story of foraminifera—the microscopic organisms used to measure ocean acidification.​

Embark on a journey to the Golden Age of Alexandria, Athens, and Venice! This brand-new experience, developed exclusively for the Art Explora Festival by Ubisoft, allows you to dive into the past at the heart of 3 iconic cities at the height of their splendor.

In *Noir de Carbone* by Jérôme Waeselynck, follow the kite-ski expedition led by adventurer Matthieu Tordeur and glaciologist Heïdi Sevestre across 1,500 kilometers of the Greenland ice sheet.​

Enrico Gracias and his orchestra Los Fissa Papa, this is "La Fafara": the joyously infectious cumbia-rock-caliente street quartet that relaxes your cheek muscles, loosens up your legs, and sets crowds wild, turning any street corner into a supercharged dance floor! Come join the fan club of this great star singer, unfairly overlooked outside the many tax havens scattered across the globe (where he's nicknamed "El cantante del paraíso")!

Based in Le Havre and the surrounding area, the KoolCast Brass Gang marching band brings together volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, professions and age groups. Tasked with opening the festival, the band will parade in a loop around the site, passing through key points to draw in as many spectators as possible and lead the crowd to the heart of the event. Starting from Hangar Zéro, the parade will end at Quai de Marseille, on the festival site itself, giving way to the official opening and speeches.

This workshop proposes a listening and sound-exploration experience designed for families. Through a walk across different spaces near the sea, we will experiment with underwater microphones to discover new sounds: underwater soundscapes. In a playful and participatory way, we will learn how to record and listen while paying close attention to the environment and our relationship with it. No prior knowledge is required: the workshop is designed so that adults, girls, and boys can participate together, exploring sound as a tool for play, curiosity, and connection with the maritime landscape.

Walking through the port and its surroundings based on a reflection on the sea as a forgotten space and its limits. The breakwater at sea and on land. The itinerary will unfold in dialogue with the notions of the artist and photographer Alan Sekula, maritime ex-votos, and urban transformation.
