Prepare to be enchanted by the allure of our oceans at the upcoming COMO Journey: Inspire Ocean event, taking place from October 26th to 28th 2023, in the scenic area of Canggu, Bali. This extraordinary event invites guest to join renowned photographer Matt Porteous and our local Indonesian ocean community for an immersive experience dedicated to celebrating the ocean's beauty and significance while kindling collective action for its conservation.
Matt Porteous, known worldwide for his exceptional photography, brings his artistic genius to the forefront of environmental advocacy. While he is best known for his work with the Prince and Princess of Wales, it is his profound connection with the ocean that has led him on a transformative journey. From this passion, Matt founded Ocean Culture Life (OCL), a charity dedicated to Giving a Voice to our most treasured yet undervalued resource—the ocean. OCL's community narrates stories of marine wonders and the urgency to protect them, bridging the gap between science and communication, using storytelling to inspire, educate, and ultimately preserve.
As Matt Porteous eloquently puts it, "Our oceans are the heartbeats of our planet, and it's our responsibility to protect them. Through the power of photography and storytelling, we can ignite a collective passion for ocean conservation."
During the Inspire Ocean Event, Matt will illuminate our journey with a series of impactful engagements:
