Art & Ocean

Human societies has been developing most of the time to the detriment of the environment’s preservation, regardless of the stability of ecosystems, nor of his heritage for future generations. Every sea lover is confronted on a daily basis with the reality of an increasingly polluted and overexploited marine environment.

Since their inception, the association Culture S and its Festival Vagabonde events contribute to raising the public’s awareness for the ocean environment. We can highlight the “beautiful” to talk about the “less beautiful”.

By appealing to our senses and emotions, aesthetics can become a vehicle for awareness.

Thanks to the support of partners (Bordeaux City Hall, Zem Agency, SECM, Underground Surfboards, Wave Surf Café, Elise Atlantique), parallel to the Festival Vagabonde 2015, the Culture S team erected an imposing artistic installation at the entrance of the Halle des Chartrons: LA VAGUE.

This artistic installation proposed to the public a wooden skeleton shaped wave more than 3 meters high, bristling with 2200 plastic bottles.

THE WAVE was dismantled at the end of 2016 and totally recycled.

LA VAGUE fut démontée fin 2016 et totalement recyclée.
