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.
