Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans

Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans is PangeaSeed Foundation's public art program that brings the oceans into streets around the globe. Collaborating with an ever-growing community of 250+ international contemporary artists, Sea Walls highlights pressing marine environmental issues in the public space and invites individuals and communities to become better ocean stewards by engaging them through ARTivism in discussions about the conservation of oceans. Since the establishment of the program in 2014, we have curated over 400 murals in 17 countries around the world. Program deliverables include:
- Environmental, problem/solution-based educational public artworks (including murals, sculpture, multimedia installations) strategically placed to maximize community engagement and awareness-raising.
- A multi-disciplinary platform that brings community members together to engage in a conversation about relevant marine environmental issues through panel discussions, beach cleanups, art exhibitions, youth outreach, film screenings, and more.
- A growing global community of concerned creatives inspired to utilize their talent to advocate for worldly issues by their involvement in Sea Walls.
- Fostering of environmental awareness and stewardship for local marine natural resources in host communities.
- Foundation for catalyzing local art communities to create more environmental public art.
