I have been on the waitlist for the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Artist-At-Sea Residency since early 2019. This week I received news that I am invited on a mission leaving Hawai’i at the end of August. 🤯
This will be a 3-week voyage to the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument which is the largest marine conservation area in the world. It consists of seamounts, atolls, islands and a lot of marine life.
🚢
As the artist-at-sea participant I will be onboard the ship R/V Falkor (named after the Luck Dragon in the Never-ending story) among researchers and crew, actively involved in the science and making art along the way. The trip of a lifetime, I know.
👩🏼🎨 “Artists and scientists both have the ability to offer a deeper understanding of our Ocean. They are important storytellers that help people to see in new ways. Applying these talents to ocean science and conservation can create a new space for dialogue and understanding.”
