Valletta

An essential aspect of the festival involves the development of workshops centered around the audiovisual experience on board the catamaran. These workshops are designed to address three key themes: cultural diversity, environmental sustainability and gender equality. Suitable for children aged 5 to 11, the activities are inspired by an audiovisual experience highlighting artifacts from the Louvre, encouraging active engagement, conversation and participatory learning.

CAN YOU SEA? Water as a political entity – The land/sea dialectic omnipresent in maritime anthropology. • Colonialism, independence, and development and conservation policies have all disrupted communities inhabiting the maritime space. • The concept of the sea as a human space, marked by cultural diversity, has encountered tenacious resistance. • Access to, ownership of, and protection of the ocean require shifting the dominant Western model of ideas about the sea and opening a middle way – a space for scientific, political, social, and creative reflection.

The festival will have a dedicated think-tank strand, bringing together influential stakeholders to engage in insightful discussions and share experiences on pressing topics such as environmental sustainability, social justice, and personal well-being. This inclusive platform invites communities to actively participate in these conversations, fostering exploration, appreciation, and the acquisition of valuable insights into the pivotal role of the arts within society.
