Catching a Wave

​

What will it take to create a public for the ocean?

​

The Catching a Wave collective engages artists and scientists in generating collaborative pathways to move the conversation beyond a ‘service mentality’ toward the Earth's oceans. We are a group of artists and researchers based in the USA, UK and Ireland, combining expertise in environmental and social sciences, fine arts, visual arts, mixed media, graphic design, film, poetry, and sculpture. See our work on Instagram and our 2020 article: "Examining the Potential of Art-Science Collaborations in the Anthropocene: A Case Study of Catching a Wave." Frontiers in Marine Science, 7: 340
