When we want to communicate, we use art.

Our Artivist Series brings you conversations with creators from around the world whose work is shaped by the ocean—and who, in turn, use their creativity to protect it. Each episode explores an artist’s connection to water, the stories behind their practice, and the ways art can spark action for a healthier, more resilient planet.

We’re closing in on our 100th episode and have featured artivists working across every medium imaginable.

Stay tuned as we approach this milestone 100th episode—there’s so much more to come.
