“We must remember too that deep in the ocean lies one of the main archives of human history that must be interpreted and preserved.” - Mario Soares, The Ocean: Our Future, 1998
Beneath the Horizon is a group exhibition in which artists respond to the ocean's significance in providing food and resources and the impact of human activities on our natural environment. These artists use various art mediums as tools to inspire and encourage viewers to reflect on our relationship with the ocean and the potential ways art might be used to mitigate the serious implications of continuing with our current environmental policies worldwide. The works focus on marine debris, environmental destruction, species extinction, medicinal plants, beauty and decay, waste, and excess.
