A history of blue art
Artistic creation, biodiversity and the ocean environment (19th-21st centuries)
This interdisciplinary symposium brings together researchers in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, as well as artists and museum professionals, to analyze ocean-related art.
“The ocean is the largest object in the world,” describes researcher Steve Mentz, who is working to bring together different forms of knowledge about this elusive entity. Mentz coined the term “blue humanities” to federate work with interdisciplinary methodologies that take the ocean as their subject. This symposium aims to nurture this field through the arts. Open to the public, it will encourage exchange and discussion.
