Sandøya (Norway)

Latitudes Network “The Global Beach” 2017

In collaboration with University of Westminster

Responsibility: Student Ambassador of the Latitudes Network​

The Global Beach project was a result of the collaboration between Tromsø Academy of Landscape and Territorial Arts and University of Westminster (London), supported by the Latitudes Network - a global educational network engaging future generations with the challenges of designing for climate change. This five-day summer workshop focused on raising awareness of plastic pollutants accumulating in the ocean. A group of international students from both universities joined efforts to clean up plastics on Sandøya Island and designed short term landscape installations. These were exhibited in London and Tromsø with the aim of encouraging people to rethink our relationship to plastics.
