KONTEJNER is calling for art projects that focus on creative and innovative interventions in cultural and natural ecologies related to the sea with a special emphasis on sub-topics such as biodiversity and sustainability, blue economy, bioacoustics, community life in seaside areas, and tourism.

The projects should belong to at least one of the following contemporary art fields:

  • Hybrid intermedia and investigative artistic practices
  • Art, science and technology
