[Exhibition and Workshop] Alarms from the Sea of Light: Translating the environmental issues of the sea with art design and connecting them to the future

The environment surrounding the sea poses a variety of new challenges to us.
RYUGU presents the beautiful original appearance of the sea, along with a fantastic sight, using waste materials collected from the sea.
At first glance, in a beautiful and large sea, the negative legacy created by mankind and the light for the future coexist. We must be aware that changes in the sea environment will also affect the changes in dreams that the next generation sees.
・　In this exhibition, we will exhibit using the Kaneka biodegradable biopolymer "GreenPlanetR", a material that is biodegradable even in seawater.

Exhibits on marine cleaning projects conducted by City of Yokohama, Port and Harbor Bureau and on coral transplant activities conducted by the Tamagawagakuen Coral Research Department.
