28 days under the sea | with Laurent Ballesta

Les Baladeurs
Living underwater and interacting with mysterious fish has fascinated humans for decades. In 2019, to get closer to this dream, marine biologist and underwater photographer Laurent Ballesta has combined several diving techniques to explore the depths of the Mediterranean without time constraints. But his ambition came at a price: he had to remain confined for 28 days with three companions in a 5 m2 chamber. This innovative expedition takes the form of a journey into space, to discover species on the threshold of the abyss.

The French coastline at risk from erosion and flooding

Surfrider Foundation Europe
Marseille
Are our coasts retreating or not? There's a lot of talk about climate change. But does it affect us directly? What impact does it have on our coasts, and why should we care? In this booklet, we've set out to explain why the coast is in danger, what the threats are, and why it concerns us all. It's time to realize that we need to live with the ocean, not against it, and that we can all play our part in protecting our beaches!

The Mediterranean Sea, a marine ecosystem in peril

NEON
The dialogues are a series of short podcasts that aim to send a localized signal of our geographical position to the world. The Climate Tone podcast series investigates and discusses the phenomenon of climate change in Greece today. This episode focuses on the Mediterranean Sea, an endangered marine ecosystem. A dialogue between Anastasia Miliou, Scientific Director of the Archipelagos Marine Conservation Institute, Professor Stelios Katsanevakis, from the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of the Aegean and Andrew Spyrou, co-curator of 112, Climate Tone explores the crucial importance of the Mediterranean ecosystem, the climate impacts on Mediterranean biodiversity, the implications of resource extraction, as well as some solutions from a scientific perspective.

A really enjoyable experience and an innovative way to bring art to the public. My favorite section was the immersive sounds of the Mediterranean; this was brilliantly done and truly captured Mediterranean living. Thank you!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience art in the setting of the most magnificent catamaran... The acrobats of 'Gregarious' fascinated us with the precision of their stunts, as well as their acting skills. What a gem of a performance!
