Resisting the Tide: Blue Justice and Collective Actions in Fishing Communities of Latin America and the Caribbean

CEDLA hosted the exhibition Resisting the Tide: Blue Justice and Collective Actions in Fishing Communities of Latin America and the Caribbean, a photographic-artistic poster series co-created by scholars and fishing communities from Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia. The exhibition shed light on the struggles and strategies of coastal peoples as they defend their livelihoods, cultural knowledge, and spiritual ties to the sea against industrial fishing, pollution, privatization, and militarisation.

Two related events accompanied the exhibition:

• Participatory Methods Discussion and Exposition Tour (23 October) — held as part of the OLA PhD Forum on Latin America, featuring a guided tour and discussion with members of the curatorial and research team, followed by a borrel.

  
  

• Webinar: Conversations on Ocean Justice (20 November) — an online dialogue with the exhibition’s curators and researchers exploring ocean justice and ways to connect academic research with wider audiences.
