Markus Reymann is Director of TBA21–Academy, which he co-founded in 2011, a contemporary art organization fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and exchange surrounding the most urgent ecological, social, and economic issues facing our oceans today. In March 2019, TBA21–Academy launched Ocean Space, a new global port for ocean literacy, research, and advocacy. In September 2020, TBA21–Academy started the first fall semester of Ocean Uni, a tuition-free and collaborative pedagogical initiative. Latched to the launch of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030), Ocean / Uni invites exchange and debate to garner knowledges and stake out new perspectives on the oceans and their intractable destabilizations.
