From May 8 to August 24, 2025, Villa Arson, TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, and Tara Ocean Foundation, in collaboration with Schmidt Ocean Institute, present Becoming Ocean: a social conversation about the Ocean, a major exhibition exploring the main challenges facing the Ocean in a choral way. More than 20 international artists are taking part in the exhibition through critical and documentary approaches as well as more sensory, poetic, or speculative expressions. The exhibition is part of the program for the Nice Biennial of Arts and the Ocean, organized as part of the United Nations Conference on the Oceans (UNOC3) to be held in Nice from June 9 to 13, 2025.
The exhibition is co-curated by three international institutions to underline the essential role of collaboration and the conviction that art and culture are drivers of social and environmental change.
