World Oceans Day 2018
Don’t let it get to this extent before our sea life becomes extinct!
Friday 8 June is World Oceans Day – a global awareness day for the protection of our oceans. This year’s theme is preventing plastic pollution and encouraging solutions for a healthy ocean.
Drawing attention to World Oceans Day in Durban is Kim Kandan from the KZNSA Gallery, one of the participating venues for ISEA2018 – the 24th International Symposium on Electronic Art, the first ISEA to be held in the African sub-continent which comes to various venues Durban from 23 – 30 June. One of the major areas of focus for ISEA2018 is the public social artistic commentary on a myriad environmental issues – with interventions, research, film screenings and exhibitions with an interesting environmental / conservation / green / eco theme.
He is pictured with Lauren Laing from WILDTRUST. Laing is part of the team that will be putting on a documentary series called ‘Our Oceans’ at the Nature, Environment & Wildlife Filmmakers Congress (NEWF), a festival of films and documentaries taking place in Durban Botanic Gardens from July 16 – 18. NEWF are inviting emerging documentary makers to pitch their ideas to the NEW Pitch Competition – designed to fund the production of documentary-shorts to kick-start the next generation of nature, environment, wildlife and adventure filmmakers. Deadline for entries to NEW Pitch is 10 June.
