OCEANIA: Journey to the Center

OCEANIA spans opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean in search of what ties our seemingly fragmented histories, disparate experiences and fates-together. The story is centered on the island nation of Kiribati-predicted to be uninhabitable by 2030 due to rising sea levels brought by climate change. As OCEANIA maintains a tension between both discovery and potential loss, we are invited to recenter our relationship to climate science data and facts-feeling the emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of the ecological crisis. OCEANIA is an elegy, an inquiry and a call to action-as it asks us to reconsider what connections are most vital to human and ecological survival and why we must reestablish them if we are to survive as a species.
