South Australian Children ‘Speak for the Seas’

A large-scale community art project created by Adelaide students aged 5-21 is promoting a sense of hope and connection to our marine environment during South Australia’s harmful algal bloom.

We Speak for the Seas was created over several months by artists from TwiningArts Art School, utilising repurposed materials to produce a collaborative Great Southern Reef on display at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital until the end of May.
