The art of co-existence
The art of co-existence explores the human relationship to all life on earth. We invite artists, designers, scientists and creative thinkers for deep conversations grounded in wonderment. Together we explore what it means to be part of a natural system, and how we can transform our anthropocentric minds to a more symbiotic approach of life on this planet.

🌊 Heaven is a place on Earth - it’s in the Ocean
George Birch from Oyster Heaven enlightens us with all the benefits oyster reefs have to offer us.
Oyster Heaven is on a mission to regenerate oyster reefs on a large scale, with a vision that this will positively impact societies on different levels. We learn about the creation of a Mother Reef from start to successful (and continuing) finish, and we dive into the meaning of ecosystem services. It seems that our current (capitalist) economic system is not valuing these correctly. George shares how Oyster Heaven challenges the status quo by offering an eco-positive value system, with oyster reefs.
🧑🎨 George’s inspiration: diversify your interests. Finding creative outlets, because different parts of your life can spin each other up in a very beautiful way.

🐚 🦪 George’s souvenir for you: Keep eating oysters. Ask for more oysters. And go out, look at the sea. Not that long ago things were really different, try to look into that - it's wild and cool and it's such a thin shade of what is possible.
