INTERPRT’s Nabil Ahmed presented at the online session, “A Remote Commons: Deep-sea mining and redesigning common heritage”, for OCEAN / UNI: Culturing the Deep Sea. He was in conversation with academic Elizabeth M. DeLoughrey, moderated by Pietro Consolandi. 

OCEAN / UNI was organised for Culturing the Deep Sea, TBA21–Academy’s program dedicated to exploring the narratives and intricacies around deep-sea mining, with attention to ocean advocacy at and around the International Seabed Authority. OCEAN / UNI’s live sessions and focussed workshops, frames deep-sea mining from a perspective that accounts for local communities in oceanic regions—specifically Pacific and Caribbean—and more-than-human life at the seabed and within the water column.
