Surfacing secrets - Episode 4 – Arts & Ocean Science

Épisode de Balad'EAU par Lyne Morissette · 28 octobre 2025 · 54 min

What happens when creativity and science share the same current of curiosity?

In this episode, three extraordinary voices from around the world — Parvin Hassani (Iran), Dennis Guppa (Philippines), and Dwight Owens (Canada/Colorado) — come together at Ocean Networks Canada on Vancouver Island. Through sculpture, theatre, and scientific collaboration, they explore how art and science can merge to understand the ocean in new ways.

Parvin, an interdisciplinary sculptor, transforms neural networks and deep-sea hydrothermal vents into living forms of memory.

Dennis, a theatre director and scholar, turns the trauma of Typhoon Haiyan into a performance of resilience and empathy in his creation Gossip with Whales.

And Dwight, ONC's Manager of Impact and Capacity Development, builds bridges between disciplines through the Art–Science Fellowship, connecting artists with researchers across the Pacific.

This episode also pays tribute to Dr. Kim Juniper, ONC's visionary Chief Scientist and Professor at the University of Victoria, whose leadership and imagination helped shape this fellowship and inspired a generation of scientists and artists to see the ocean — and each other — through new eyes.

Together, these voices remind us that curiosity flows like water — connecting minds, cultures, and ideas — and that connection itself can become a work of art.
