[Yasmin_discussions] Art and wetlands in the Med area

Hi

I'm trying to finalise the abstract to go into the Imagining the
Mediterranean Congress
https://www.ivam.es/en/congress-imaginar-el-mediterraneo/ This part of my
work as co-ordinator of the Art Focus Group for the Ramsar Culture Network
- Ramsar is the intergovernmental Convention on Wetlands
http://www.ramsar.org

I'm looking for examples of ecoart/environmental art addressing wetlands in
the Mediterranean area. I've got two at the moment:

Brandon Ballengee has worked at Parco Arte Viviente in Turin as part of his
ongoing Malamp project - he did an Eco Action and they produced a nice
little book. 3rd video here -http://brandonballengee.com/eco-actions/

Shai Zakai's Concrete Stream project in Israel cleaned up a stream which
was being used as a dump by a concrete works, and engaged the business to
persuade them to stop dumping.http://greenmuseum.org/

and http://www.shaizakai.com/text.php?NID=256

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
