sailing lab on water pollution

PartArt4OW is looking for interdisciplinary and intersectorial projects mixing art, science and participatory practices in innovative ways.

PartArt4OW is looking for proposals that actively engage citizens and move beyond awareness-raising by combining science-based research with innovative, often understudied artistic practices to co-create new ways of understanding and tackling pollution. Proposals can focus on any type of pollution, such as solid waste, chemical pollution, nutrient pollution, micro- and nanopollutants, biological pollution, noise, light, thermal, or pathogen pollution.

This second open call is exclusively for proposals that can host the PartArt4OW Sailing Lab in a yacht harbor or marina during its Mediterranean tour. The PartArt4OW Sailing Lab is a 15-metre sailboat traveling across the western Mediterranean to connect, document, and promote the work of selected PAIs (Participatory Art Initiatives).
