Inspirational Wo(men) Who’ve Shared Their Passion for the Ocean with Us
Artivist Series - Manuela Zoninsein
Manuela Zoninsein began her career as a journalist in China. While there, she witnessed a shift from reusable to single-use water bottles. The Brazilian-American’s love for the beaches of Rio de Janeiro and her experience and academic studies at the MIT-Sloan Executive MBA program, led her to found Kadeya, a company with a mission to replace single-use plastic bottles by developing an innovative vending machine that will ultimately reduce the plastic pollution crisis.
Artivist Series -Sarah Cameron Sunde
Sarah received the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship for her nine-part series 36.5/A Durational Performance with the Sea. This work has been performed on six continents in places as far flung as New Zealand, Kenya, and New York City. Sarah’s intention is to connect humans with water and the impact of climate change. During each site specific performance she stands in the water for a full tidal (12.5+ hours). The rise and fall of the tide on her body is reflective of what has occurred in nature in the ancient past and will continue to do so unrelentingly into the future.
