INSTALLATION
Who does the sea belong to?
Tia Kansara, Mudita Pasari

Venue: GOA SCIENCE CENTER
Time: 10:30 – 18:30
Tia Kansara and Mudita Pasarai researched shared spaces between humans and wildlife to create an installation that explored the relationship between garbage dumping, jellyfish and life underwater. Sea turtles have been consuming plastic bags, mistaking them for jellyfish. While plastic and jellyfish are on the rise, sharks and other predators are decreasing due to our waste disposal habits. Tia and Mudita shed light on these issues through an immersive visual of the sea. As audiences walked through the container, they were encouraged to ponder over the question “to whom does the sea belong to?”
If we pollute the ocean to clean our private spaces, whose responsibility is it to clean up the ocean?
