Professional Panel: Art, Ecology & Digital Storytelling for the Sustainability of the Seas

Climate change is transforming marine ecosystems, affecting biodiversity and the communities that depend on them. Understanding these changes is crucial for the sustainability of the seas. CO-VISION brings together artists, scientists, and local communities to create new narratives about the environmental crisis. Digital art becomes a tool for raising awareness, bridging science, technology, and society. In this panel, experts from marine biology, film, and the arts will discuss how art can inspire action, turning complex ecological issues into powerful, immersive experiences. Through participatory methodologies and artistic interventions, CO-VISION proposes a new way of understanding and protecting the natural environment.
