HIGHLIGHTS
Purpose and Values
On October 9th and 10th, 2026, Ocean&Climate Village arrives at the Luna Rossa base in Cagliari with a new display concept developed by design and research studio Formafantasma. Among the key initiatives arising from the renewed partnership between Luna Rossa and UNESCO for the 38th America’s Cup, the exhibition marks the start of a new phase for the Ocean&Climate Village, with a display that has been evolved to offer a systemic analysis of the ocean. Visitors are invited to learn about the connections between biological, climatic and geological processes, with the aim of moving beyond a fragmented view of environmental issues and highlighting the ocean’s role in the mechanisms that support life on Earth.
The exhibition is organized into four themed sections that guide visitors in discovering the connections that regulate the ocean system. Each section adds a new layer of understanding, showing how seemingly unrelated phenomena are actually part of a single system.

The programme will be complemented by educational workshops designed as a natural extension of the visit and inspired by the principles of Ocean Literacy, with the aim of transforming knowledge into direct experience and fostering a more mindful relationship with the ocean. Led by SEA BEYONDers Enzo Barracco, Valentina Gottlieb, Carmelo Isgrò and Elisabetta Zavoli, the workshops are structured around four complementary activities – observing, sharing stories, connecting and representing – offering participants a variety of tools and ways of expressing themselves to explore the sea and understand its value.
The programme will also feature contributions from Luna Rossa and Fondazione Prada with Accademia dei bambini.
