Fifth edition of the event International Ocean Art Festival, organized on the theme LIFE – OCEAN – PEACE (2022 Life – Ocean – Peace / Jeju, South Korea and Beijing Design Week, China) and made with the support of Asian Federation of Arts, Culture and Sciences – South Korea, had the opening at the DOLDAM gallery, Jeju (August 1-13). Also, a number of representative works have been chosen to promote the IOAF event within Beijing Design Week 2022 and 751 Design Festival – Beijing, China.
Event IOAF it took place through a sustained and commendable effort of the organizers during a period strongly marked by the severe limitations imposed by safety measures (COVID-19) in Asia and represents an extraordinary opportunity for us and the younger generations to better understand the importance of protecting The ocean as the foundation of life but also to realize that human activities have a strong impact on the oceanic world and urge us to communicate and project through art and design the reality of now and, hopefully, a better reality of tomorrow.
“Against the backdrop of natural disasters, viruses and war, IOAF repositions the global issue of peace derived from the ocean. This cradle of life, connects every continent and different major civilizations, while the peace, the highest ideal of mankind, lays a critical foundation for the sustainable development of human life."
