Families

The Educational Department of Ocean Space offers educational activities, workshops, and more for families and children both during our current exhibitions and remotely during the closing period, to explore the relationship between art and science, collective action, and awareness of the importance of the oceans in everyday life and the for the conservation of the planet.

These projects offer significant and accessible opportunities to experiment, learn while having fun, and develop creative thinking to find solutions for the protection and conservation of the environment.

WORKSHOPS OCEAN FAMILIES

The educational department offers a series of four workshops for children and students (aged 3 to 25), with an intergenerational and intersectional approach through which participants can discover and learn about the marine microcosm. Each session is introduced by a scientist, followed by a workshop where participants will be guided in (re)creating a zoomarine environment, experimenting with various artistic techniques. Activities are led by young artists and performers, fostering intergenerational exchange and peer tutoring. The "exhibition space" becomes a poetic place for collective reflection. The series concludes with a final event at the end of September.

Ocean Families program 2024 has been conceived by TBA21–Academy’s Ocean Space and organised in partnership with LAS Art Foundation and Istituto di Scienze Marine (CNR-ISMAR) in conjunction with the exhibitions Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania and Josèfa Ntjam: swell of spæc(i)es.
