Since his childhood, Prince Hussain Aga Khan has been fascinated by the beauty and increasing fragility of ocean life. Through the art of wildlife photography, he has dedicated his life to raising awareness of underwater worlds that are breathtaking in their kaleidoscopic colours and diversity. They are now under imminent threat. In less than 30 years’ time, there will be more plastic than fish (by mass) in our oceans.
For this exhibition, Prince Hussain has collected photographs taken between 2011 and 2023 in Indonesian waters, some of the most biodiverse underwater places on the planet. Located in the Lower Level Gallery and the Aga Khan Park, Technicolour Ocean reflects his expeditions to Lembeh, Bunaken, Raja Ampat, West Papua, and Southeast Sulawesi. These photographs give us much to think about and reflect Prince Hussain’s commitment to encourage global efforts to conserve the world’s animal species and ecosystems.
