"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.

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.

Amman-born and Barcelona based for the last years, Miramizu is an expert in fusing disparate musical worlds into vibrant journeys. Drawn to contrast, she thrives on the friction between softness and impact, light and low-end, emotion and electricity. For her dj set at Art Explora, she will guide audiences on a sonic journey inspired by the Mediterranean, navigating textures, rhythms, and cultural echoes that reflect our shared landscape and collective experience

res_ (antes res_és_nostre) is a sound art duo that investigates the intersection between electronic music, language and visual arts, understanding sound as cultural, historical and political material. For Art Explora they present a live show based on the sampling of medieval catalan choirs, whose voices are fragmented and processed electronically, generating a dialogue between archive, technology and collective body. Their performance will be joined by 40 singers from the Canigó Choir.
