Festival of the Sea
The Festival of the Sea took place from June 5th - 8th, 2019, in Sainte Luce, Madagascar. A collaboration with Roehampton University, it involved several other local communities including Itapera and Ebakika. Celebrating local culture and marine heritage, events were centred around lobster fishing communities of the Anosy Region.
