Ocean mural: Into the Reef at UCC Hub by street artist Neto Vettorello
The BlueMissionAA project, with the support of University College Cork (UCC) and TIDAL ArtS, organised the inauguration of a street art mural focused on the protection of marine ecosystems. The artwork was exhibited during the event “Waves of Change – A Community Mural for Ocean Restoration” part of the Cork Harbour Festival.
Titled “Into the Reef” and created by Italian-Brazilian artist Neto Vettorello, the mural debuted at UCC campus on June 1st, transforming the campus into a vibrant canvas with an unique movable and sensory-catching mural.
Combining art and ocean science to inspire community engagement, the public is invited to experience an immersive and three-dimensional reef, home to different ocean species, and leave a mark, as non-permanent writing materials will be distributed during the inauguration.
