An international team of artists + scientists at the Coastal Social-Ecological Millennium Institute (SECOS) will share “Tiempos de Muralismo”, Chile’s coastal mural project, which explores the integration of scientific knowledge with traditional culture and community aspirations. The panel will discuss placed based and iterative approaches to the co-creation of art, co-production of knowledge and the larger implications to the science and art intersection for ocean sustainable futures.
