Following on from the first Prada Possible Conversation with SEA BEYOND held in May in New York, the next step of the collaboration between Emmy-nominated environmental photographer and climate artist Enzo Barracco and SEA BEYOND took shape in early December 2024 with a second Conversation, at the Prada Aoyama Epicenter in Tokyo.
The Conversation marked the opening of an exhibition by Enzo Barracco, showcasing images from his expedition in Hawaii and taken from his latest book “The Blue on Fire, Hawai’I”. Presented during the event, the photographic book captures the beauty and fragility of the islands, contributing to raising awareness of the local biodiversity. The foreword is written by Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group Head of Corporate Social Responsibility.
The Conversation between the photographer Enzo Barracco, Francesca Santoro, UNESCO-IOC Senior Program Officer, Meghan Marrero, NMEA USA Blue Schools National Coordinator, Joanna Philippoff, NMEA Director, Board of Directors, and Sakana-Kun, ichthyologist, Illustrator and Academic Lecturer, highlighted the urgency of ocean preservation and environmental stewardship and how art and culture can be instrumental in furthering science to spread knowledge and raise awareness with the ultimate goal of inspiring audiences to act.
