The Living Sea presents the view of two friends, Prince Hussain Aga Khan and Simone Piccoli, on the extraordinary diversity of the underwater worlds of three countries: Tonga, Mexico and Egypt.

Prince Hussain Aga Khan, a photographer and author whose work has been exhibited worldwide, and Simone Piccoli, award-winning director of underwater documentaries, met in 2014 on a dolphin expedition that Simone was guiding in Sataya, Red Sea. Their passion for marine life took them on a fascinating journey to explore the hidden marvels of the deep sea. In subsequent years, they set their sights on Vava’u, one of the two main islands in Tonga, and the Revillagigedo islands far off the coast of Mexico.

Through large format prints of Prince Hussain Aga Khan and video by Simone Piccoli, the exhibition unravels the splendour of the underwater worlds and biodiversity in Tonga, Mexico and Egypt for Bahraini audiences to discover and explore.

This exhibition is a collaboration with Focused on Nature, the Swiss association created by Prince Hussain Aga Khan to promote, through the power of photography, awareness of environmental causes and to finance some of the best wildlife charities in the world for particular species and ecosystems of interest.
