Featured at the festival was the art exhibition 'Full of Wonder or Full of Plastic? You Decide.', a solo show by American artist Ingrid Hess, which explores the current perils of plastic waste in our oceans.

The festival programme also featured film screenings, workshops and talks on policy, practice and community engagement in the arts and sustainability.
