Webinar: The role of arts-based methods for transformative ocean governance within One Ocean Hub research
5 November 2024
16:00-17:30 (South African Standard Time)
Hosted by: Transformation Community
This webinar will showcase how the arts and arts-based participatory research methods within the One Ocean Hub programme have and continue to contribute to transformative ocean governance by enabling a strong balance between ecological, economic, social and human rights dimensions. The speakers include Hub co-founder and Director Elisa Morgera, Hub Deputy Director Philile Mbatha as well as one of the Hub’s other co-founders and artists, Dylan McGarry. Elisa will open the webinar with an introduction to the Hub as well as the vision for the arts in the Hub. Dylan will reflect on the role of arts in challenging knowledge hierarchies and for enabling social call-and-response and scholar activism. Philile will then speak about equity and the use of art-based approaches for knowledge co-production with coastal communities, including women and youth, in South Africa. They will then be asked to speak to their own experiences of how the use of art has shaped them as researchers and the work they do.
