A charming place full of history, a few steps from the European Parliament, is about to become an artistic hub in support of the oceans cause. 'Mers & Oceans, Exposition Immersive d'art urbain & contemporain' (Seas & Oceans, Immersive exhibition of urban & contemporary art) is the latest art project within the biennale by TALK C.E.C., European cultural incubator aimed at sensitising to climate and environmental matters through artistic and cultural creativity. The showroom will be hosted from the 20th April 2023 until the 25th June 2023 in a remarkable Art Nouveau historic building, the Maison Demeuldre-Coché, giving life to an interactive space in partnership with Belgian, European and International scientific institutes. A set of conferences will animate the exhibit involving the private and the public sector to foster the putting in place of the United Nations targets within the Ocean Decade and the European mission to "Restore our Ocean and Waters" by 2030.


Forty artists worked together several representatives of the scientific world to conceive murals accompanied by visual and sound effects and other installations. The Ocean protection cause will be linked to the enhancement of a historic site, home of a former porcelain factory specialised in the creation of architectural ceramics. This reflects the mission of Talk C.E.C. that is committed in boosting environmental issues by organising exhibitions to raise public eco-awareness and promote sustainable practices. ***

Welcome to a new weekly column of Eco-Logia!
EPISODE 7: What does Urban Functional Biodiversity refer to?
How do you feel when you come into contact with the green spaces of your city? Maybe more relaxed, regenerated and energetic! it is not by chance. #Urban Functional #Biodiversity is about various natural #species and their specific functional traits (e.g., nitrogen fixation, pollination, water retention) that maintain #ecosystems and provide essential #services in heavily populated areas. Boosting #climate regulation, favouring flood #control, reducing #pollution, providing recreational spaces and improving human #wellbeing, resilience and health are some of the most significant #benefits they generate.
Being inspired by #Nature’s balance helps #architects, #designers and urban #planners to select vegetation able to optimises specific ecological functions, such as #water infiltration or biodiversity support. Integrating interconnected #green spaces (e.g.: parks, green roofs) and #blue spaces (ponds, wetlands) promotes #habitat connectivity and strengthens urban biodiversity. Moreover, engaging local residents and stakeholders in the planning and management of urban nature, encourages a shared vision of the development of densely inhabited areas, boosting mental and physical health.
Main Strategies for Enhancing Urban Functional Biodiversity are:
· Biodiversity-Sensitive Design]: that is integrating native, multi-functional plant species into urban design, including vertical gardens and green roofs.
· Ecological Restoration: that is actively restoring urban green and blue spaces to enhance habitat diversity and ecological function.
· Inclusive Governance: that is engaging local residents and stakeholders in the planning and management of urban nature.
