One Ocean 2026: Artist's Film Screenings

What does it mean to truly live with the ocean, not as its masters, but as part of it?

The films in this session explore our deep, entangled existence with aqueous worlds, drawing on feminist and postcolonial thought to challenge the individualism and human exceptionalism that has long defined our relationship with the natural world. These are not films about saving the ocean, but about learning from it; asking what becomes possible when we listen to the depths, think collectively, and embrace the radical interconnectedness of all living things. To live with the ocean, rather than upon it, is to recognise that we were never separate to begin with.

Full programme coming soon.
