Naamu - Ocean At Work
An ocean-inspired art experience that cultivates Calm, Connection, Creativity, and Diversity and Inclusion in problem solving in the workplace.
Bring Nature, Awe, and Perspectives into Workplaces
In a world of constant deadlines, social media takeover, and technology explosion, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.
Ocean-inspired and art-led, the “Ocean At Work” movement reconnects people with the natural world as well as their own body and mind, through art, story, and lived experience.
By bringing something so different - and even seemingly irrelevant - to the workplace, it also provokes people to step back and reflect on the value of different perspectives and lived experiences, facilitating true diversity and inclusion in ways of thinking, encouraging creative problem-solving, and opening doors to more balanced and harmonious ways of living.
The in-office programme features:
an underwater and wildlife photo exhibition
an opening keynote shaped by the artist’s personal journey from corporate leadership to competitive freediving and photography filmmaking
and optional wellbeing workshops utilising top athletes-inspired physical and mental techniques, designed to overcome mental blocks and achieve peak performance.
“My mission is to bring technology and innovation to better serve our oceans, and bring the oceans back to inspire workplaces. Ocean At Work is a project that embodies the second half of this mission.”
- Bingqian Gao, Artist Entrepreneur, Founder of Naamu
