Prada Group and UNESCO-IOC ‘Sea Beyond’ Project Bows Exhibit at Luna Rossa Base

The Ocean&Climate Village exhibition, now in its sixth iteration, has been reconfigured and enriched with help from design studio Formafantasma.

CAGLIARI, Italy — The recipients of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine were awarded for linking algae behavior to optogenetics, a technique for controlling human nerve cells with light.

This suggests how the oceans are interconnected with life on Earth on more levels than one. That’s the key message emerging from the latest installment of the Sea Beyond Ocean&Climate Village, the itinerant exhibition mounted by Prada Group and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, or UNESCO-IOC.

Held for the first time inside the Luna Rossa base in Cagliari, Italy, the exhibit has been entirely reconfigured through a partnership with the Milan- and Rotterdam, Netherlands-based design studio Formafantasma, to heighten its educational potential and engagement appeal.

“This new edition of the Ocean&Climate Village makes one concept very clear: everything is interconnected, and every action we take has consequences. That is why it is important to spread knowledge so it can be transformed into action. For Sea Beyond, the real challenge today is to scale the project’s impact and engage more young people through ocean education,” Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group’s chief marketing officer and head of sustainability and executive chairman of Versace, told WWD.

“With this goal in mind, we also launched the Sea Beyond Multi-Partner Trust Fund, designed to welcome new partners and expand the reach of a mission that concerns the entire community,” he said.

Prada Group launched the ocean literacy and education project Sea Beyond in 2019, concurrently with the launch of the Re-Nylon collection crafted from Econyl recycled nylon.
