The Ocean Manifesto

A richly illustrated meditation on the crises faced by our beautiful and beloved oceans

Curator Caroline Ha Thuc orchestrates with the Métis Arts and Development Fund a reference work that places the ocean at the heart of humanity. Produced in relation to the 2025 United Nations Conference on the Oceans, this extensive collection places the oceans as essential common goods, with the mobilizing power of the arts essential to give impact to the changes needed to preserve them. This book brings together more than 100 visual and textual views from all over the world, including personal accounts and interviews, to awaken a new awareness of the future of the oceans.
