The Whisper of the Sea is an activist project about global climate change. An interactive, performative installation at the intersection of art, dance, music, and light design.

ARCTIC LABORATORY took place in March 2024 throughout a period of four weeks. During these weeks drawing workshop activities, film recordings and conversations with locals from Ilulissat and Qeqertarsuaq formed the basis for process-oriented but site-specific studies of Arctic imagery and climate change. At the core was an exchange of Arctic experiences through art, science, drawing, and filming climate stories with people in Ilulissat (Greenland), marine biologists in Qeqertarsuaq (Greenland) in cooperation with Climate Narratives (Ilulissat/Norway) – an international large-scale research project and network.
