Artist and photographer Andy Hughes joins the panel as an invited guest for One Ocean 2026, a weekend of free talks, workshops, and screenings dedicated to art, adaptation, and the future of our oceans. Supported by the UK National Commission for UNESCO and hosted by Turner Contemporary, this rich public program brings together art, science, and storytelling to translate complex environmental issues into accessible, action-driven experiences for the community.
This interdisciplinary discussion explores the critical link between ocean ecosystems and human wellbeing, examining how issues like pollution and biodiversity loss directly impact communities on both a local and global scale. By looking at the ocean’s profound influence on both physical and mental health, the conversation highlights why a healthy marine environment is absolutely essential for sustaining life on Earth.
