The word Mediterranean translates literally as \u201cin the middle of the earth\u201d. The Mediterranean Sea had been a cradle of great empires and rich cultures a source of myths, legends, art and discoveries for more than three millennia \u2014 and to this day it continues to shape relationships between people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an entity that has a life of its own \u2014 it breathes, changes its shape, changes its state – from utter serenity to ardent storms. It is a microcosm full of mysteries, incredible creatures and fascinating processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over many centuries we have ravenously consumed and exploited the resources of the sea through overfishing, plastic pollution, concreting of the coast and other man-made processes. This is now a planetary-scale threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mediterranean represents only 1.5% of the earth\u2019s surface, but it encompasses almost all the potentially catastrophic issues the planet is facing. The exhibition \u201cMare Nostrum: fragili vita\u201d and the Maritima project shed light on the activity of contemporary artists and scientists who study current problems, research newly discovered species and the threats they are facing, and try to find solutions. We want to draw public attention to the environmental problems of the Mediterranean region and to the importance of investigating mysteries of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo billion years ago, cyanobacteria oxygenated the atmosphere and powerfully disrupted life on Earth,\u201d says former New York Times reporter Andrew Revkin. \u201cBut they didn\u2019t know it. We are the first species that has become a planet-scale influence and is aware of that reality. That\u2019s what distinguishes us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
