Henningsvaer, Norway; August 1st – 6th, 2011
We all know about the beauty of the largest animal on Earth, but still the whale lives under constant existential fear. Often, human beings do not see how important parts of the ecosystem are being threatened because the used medium for environmental communication is not attractive enough.
The “Lofoten Whale Festival” combines important educational work with “artist and fun activities” such as sailing trips, film interactions, talks and presentation, but also concerts, discussion rounds and party.
The meeting of humans and whales wants to appeal to children such as grown ups and is also aiming at boosting the local tourist economy.
