Bounties of the Great Lakes

How and what can we harvest from the lakes and how can we make the most of it? Are there new ways to talk about the problems in the marine ecosystem? Is there a sustainable and respectful way to use animalistic marine material?

* Lakescape explores how craftsmanship and design can reflect, reshape, and support more harmonious relationships with aquatic ecosystems.

By anchoring the project on the shores of Europe’s Great Lakes, we recognize the lakes not merely as scenic backdrops, but as dynamic ecosystems and cultural landscapes that inform and inspire our work.

Lakescape is a Creative Europe project co-funded by the European Union.
