CO-VISION Professional Panel organised in collaboration with the Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), exploring the intersection of art, environmental awareness and sustainability with a focus on the sea as natural and symbolic element. Topics: the sea as a buffer for heat and carbon and its endangerment; microplastic and textile pollution; art as a means of environmental awareness giving people 'the time of observation'; local and sustainable artistic practice (reuse of materials, recycling of sets); art education for the next generation; and the sea as artistic inspiration and mirror of human activity. Key takeaways: art and environment are inseparable, the sea symbolises interconnectedness, and collaboration between institutions, communities and artists is essential.
