Diana Meyen | Prague 2022 | The museum as a stage for the oceans

The German Ocean Museum is engaged in the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). Its power to take action combines both - its outreach via marketing and public relations and offers new points of view to inspire people. Diana Meyen introduces this science communication project by translating research topics into movement, a co-operation showing with photographs new perspectives of well-known problems, and the museums’ efforts to bring the Ocean Decade from science to the public.

The oceans as a source of inspiration but also as a subject of science brought professional choreographers, dancers, sociologists, musicians, and museum staff together in November 2021. Within a couple of days, they got acquainted with each other and with marine research topics. They translated their skills and new knowledge into public and free-of-charge performances underneath the “Giants of the Seas”-exhibition at the OZEANEUM Stralsund.
