Beschreibung:

The Universal Sea is uniting forces with the WeMakeThe.City Festival. Our station will be running over two days (21-22 June 2018, 10:00 – 19:00), in the city of the 165 canals and 1,281 bridges.

The event consists of inspiring pecha-kucha presentations and co-creation workshops, led by experts and thought-leaders open to the public. These hackathon-style workshops aim to bring together the diverse perspectives present and generate new, exciting solutions to the problems highlighted in the art + science exhibition focusing on our mission to push forward solutions to fight the plastic epidemic.

The Universal Sea Netherlands Station is hosted by the Main Public Library in Amsterdam.

“The Universal Sea: Pure or Plastic?!” is an art and innovation project, co-funded under the umbrella of the Creative Europe program. It brings together a variety of perspectives, from art, science, business, and technology, to raise awareness and generate effective and innovative solutions to the scourge of plastic pollution. Each station consists of artistic interventions from the finalists, chosen from a worldwide open call that generated over 250 applications. In addition, artistic proposals from the top 100 applicants together with artworks by Dutch artists will be on display 18 – 29 June in an exhibition. All art interventions relate to the topic of plastic pollution, raising questions on the contemporary reliance on disposable plastics and their effects on our common environment.
