Mar Motto
FESTIVAL
Mar Motto takes place at a time when the ocean, as we know it, is in danger of changing drastically.
Species, ecosystems and resources, once taken for granted, are gradually disappearing and becoming other places, other deserts, other colours…
The festival thus emerges as a set of initiatives that address and celebrate the ocean and promote its conservation. It is presented with a practical character, around the creative areas of the arts, music, gastronomy, science, as a unifying and pedagogical hook, through a language shared by all, as a tool to positively awaken involvement, learning and discussion for a more aware and informed society.

MISSION
INFORM
To publicise, debate and address different issues, realities and points of view about the ocean, the risks it faces and the solutions that can be found by us as citizens to stop these threats and speed up measures to protect it.
INSPIRE
Presenting works of art, content, conversations and artistic pieces capable of generating a galvanising movement that amplifies a message of environmental justice and positively impacts the community.
INCONFORM
To disturb and inspire action, change and reflection. Raise awareness in favour of marine conservation and inspire a revolution in mentalities so that society takes an active role in preserving ecosystems.
BRING TOGETHER
To create and strengthen bonds transversally between people from different communities, contexts, territories and realities, through sharing, participation and appreciation.
PROMOTE
Amplify and publicise other projects, initiatives and voices that represent the ocean and promote sustainability, contributing to the creation of opportunities and the sharing of ideas.
MANIFEST
WARNING
It’s urgent to stir up the waters, create some storms.
Maintaining restlessness, stay alert, learn to manage certain states of emergency and immersion.
We recommend that you leave without running away. Stomp your feet. The ‘wonder’ can become intense due to stubbornness, and it’s natural that the Earth will shake, the sea will rebel and so will we.
In situations like this, there may be periods of legitimate unrest, counter-currents, strong winds and sometimes free radicals.
In situations like this, talking, painting, writing, drawing, documenting, thinking or looking can be first aid.
It can be a way out. Deep down, blue.
In situations like this, it’s important not to stay at home.
It sounds like a good plan to us.
