In the current planetary condition, care and love are radical acts.

I believe our best weapons against social and environmental injustices that make up the many levels of global inequality are kinship and creativity. To be a creative activist means to understand this responsibility and take the trouble seriously. I strongly believe the transformative power of art is one of the vessels that can take us there.

This is exactly what drives us at TBA21–Academy to imagine and co-create an oceanic future – a resilient and responsible world with sensitivity to shared and particular environments, communities, and modes of existence.

Why the Ocean?

Because I believe the Ocean is a living entity and our best ally against the impact of climate emergency. The Ocean has many voices, and we want to make sure it is heard.”
