TBA21–Academy’s metabolism of researching, digesting, producing, and sharing knowledges is disseminated through OCEAN / UNI, an initiative dedicated to art, activism, art, and science that invites fluid thinking with the Ocean as a way to move beyond the binaries of land and sea. Aiming to complement and enhance land-based understanding of the Earth, it covers a wide range of ecological, political, aesthetic, ethical, and scientific topics around the realities and futures of the Ocean. The program takes place online and is tuition-free and open to the general public.

Through critical conversations with artists, activists, scientists, scholars, and storytellers, each semester unfolds different themes and viewpoints around the potentials and perils of oceanic transformation. The lessons are supported by research clusters and shared forms of inquiry set to guide curiosity, foster transdisciplinary exchange, and inform methodologies of radical sensitivity and regenerative culture. Aiming to activate critical ocean literacy, OCEAN / UNI and its collaborating partners in international educational institutions seek to formulate propositions that bring together various formats of engagement with the Ocean, its communities and its other-than-human inhabitants.

Accessible Path to Ocean Space

A man points at a glowing interactive surface while two women lean in, watching closely and smiling in a dimly lit, futuristic exhibition space.

A group of adults gathers around two black tables inside a large historic hall with scaffolding along the walls, listening to a woman who is presenting materials laid out in front of her.

A speaker sits cross legged on a blue platform holding a microphone and addressing an audience seated informally on the floor and cushions inside a spacious hall with exposed brick walls.

Is this headline bold?

Volunteers lean over the edge of a canal in a historic city, using nets and bags to collect debris from the water while others look on from the walkway and a small bridge nearby.

A group of people stands inside a spacious, rustic exhibition hall, listening attentively as a guide explains a large textured rock installation in the foreground.

Children work with a teacher on a shadow theater setup, using cut-out fish and seaweed shapes illuminated by an overhead projector as they create an underwater scene.

A large crowd gathers at dusk in front of a historic brick building with tall arched windows and illuminated doorways, surrounded by narrow European streets and softly lit façades.

A quiet canal flanked by tall historic buildings in warm tones, with small boats moored along the water and a distant bridge and bell tower visible at sunset in Venice.
