Ensayos is an international, cross-disciplinary project in which artists, researchers and locals engage in current problems relating to political ecology. The Wild Living Marine Resources Belong to Society as a Whole is a series of interdisciplinary events that has been named after Section 2 of the Norwegian Marine Resources Act. The project is organized by Geir Tore Holm, Søssa Jørgensen and Randi Nygård at Kunstnernes Hus.

The series examines different ideas about the environment and our role in nature, our management of natural resources, responsibilities, world views, language, and values.
