Addressing one of the urgent issues of climate crisis and environmental pollution, this book explores our relationship to the sea: how we live alongside it, our bodily relationship to it, its role in the creation of a connected, global society and, perhaps most critically, the threat we pose to it.
Through a broad selection of works by contemporary international artists, Can the Seas Survive Us? responds to the urgent need to resuscitate our seas. While the oceanic environment is essential to all life, its vulnerability to human action is highlighted by an ever-increasing loss of biodiversity. This book prompts the reader to imagine a future in which collective human behaviour can mitigate the effects of climate change. As ocean temperatures reach record highs, it is clear that time is not on our side. This ambitious project aspires to accelerate climate awareness and deliver the critical climate action we urgently need.

His interdisciplinary expertise spans museum studies, curatorial studies, art history, community engagement, climate communication and energy management. In 2023, he curated ‘Sediment Spirit’ and co-edited the publication Planet For Our Future. Specialising in international contemporary art, sustainability and planetary ecology, Ken focuses on curating art and culture to accelerate climate awareness and action. He is affiliated with international organisations such as the International Council of Museums, the Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art and the Association of Art Museum Curators, amongst others.
