SEA*STERS – Collective ART & SORORITY
SEA´sters is an artistic and collective movement to regenerate territories around the claim: It’s time to take of our SEA
«Born from my vision as an artist and Impact Designer, SEA’sters blends collaborative urban art, circular economy, and feminine eco-leadership to protect the sea by empowering women entrepreneurship through co-creativity»
The pilot project developped in Marseille engaged over 1,000 children and their mothers, giving them the opportunity to contribute to the beautification of their neighborhood while being introduced to the circular economy. Participants discovered five local Circular startups and NGOs led by women, gaining firsthand insight into sustainable entrepreneurship.
The income generated by the project directly benefited local associations leading the initiative and contributing to its realization.
Now, SEA’sters is expanding to Mallorca, Barcelona, and Greece, in collaboration with local universities, DRAP-ART www.drapart.org , and Merakiu.

More about A* ...
Axelle Vergès – Sfax 1973- Artist, Ecosystem Booster and Positive Impact consultant
Born in Tunisia, raised in Canada, and trained in Communication and International Business in France, the UK (Oxford Brookes University), and Barcelona, Axelle Vergès is a world citizen and Mediterranean soul.
She began her professional career at French TV M6 (Metropole Television SA) before becoming one of the first e-business consultants for innovation projects in the ICT sector in Barcelona. In 1998, she worked with Briefing Agency & AGM The Global Market Company, advising companies such as La Caixa, TVC (Catalan TV & Radio) and other early adopters in the digital sector.
At the age of 27, she made a decisive shift towards social, cultural, and environmental projects, co-founding Studio Itinerante Arquitectura SL alongside French-American economist Tristan Peirotes and Italian architect and designer Alessandro Caviasca. Since then, they have been involved in numerous idealistic projects focus on reducing CO₂ emissions, promoting local culture, and supporting artists, social entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven professionals in the development of their ventures.
Essaouira… The City and the Sea of Change
Until the year 2000, Axelle’s artistic expression was limited to doodles in class notes, sketches beside the telephone, and drawings in meeting notebooks—so much so that friends and colleagues began collecting them. She even covered her work desk with spontaneous artwork—a piece she still keeps today.
Everything changed during a transformative trip to Essaouira, a city that became a key milestone in her creative awakening. There, she met artist Regraguia Ben Hila, who would become her artistic mentor. Together, they escaped to wild beaches, Rolling Stones blasting in the car, and let their bodies move freely, drawing with no limits.
This unexpected and furtive artistic escape unlocked Axelle’s creative power, allowing her to embrace her artistic language filled with vibrant colors, fluid bodies, generous caos and interconnections between all elements — a pure expression of love for life, or rather, «life for love».
Upon returning to Barcelona, she held her first exhibition, where her work was acquired by Catalan art merchant Jordi Boronat, whose cleaning lady later declared it her favorite piece of art in his collection 🙂 Her paintings later found their way to Saint-Paul de Vence, where they were exhibited and sold in a small gallery, marking the beginning of her artistic journey.
Pioneering Sustainability & Innovation
In 2003, together with Alessandro Caviasca, Axelle became a pioneer in sustainable architecture and the integration of solar technology into urban furniture by co-founding SIARQ Advanced Solar Design (www.siarq.com), an internationally recognized leader in sustainable design.
She also played a key role in the creation of Dadadis SL, a disruptive digital content distribution system co-founded in 2002 alongside music industry pioneers such as Alberto Guijaro (founder of Primavera Sound Festival) and Maarten Van Wijck (co-founder of lacupulamusic.com).
Feminine Entrepreneurship & the Power of Cycles
As a mother of two, co-founder of a cutting-edge company, and deeply committed to education, sustainability, and feminism, Axelle launched InspirA* – The Art of Feminine entrepreneurship in 2012. This initiative was born from her collaboration with Sophia Style (Founder of Mujer Cíclica) to help women create new economic models and professional paths inspired by nature, feminine cycles, and ancestral knowledge.
The Feminine Entrepreneurship training program (Emprender en Femenino) was designed to provide perspectives, resources, and tools that empower women and creative souls. To date, more than 100 projects have been mentored through InspirA*, reinforcing Axelle’s commitment to multiplying positive impact initiatives worldwide.
Positive LAB & SEA’sters: Art & Activism to take care of our SEA*
In 2020, Axelle co-founded Positive LAB with French journalist Emilie Langlade, an ecofeminist organization dedicated to fostering citizen projects in Berlin, Marseille, and Mallorca (www.positivelab.eu).
From Positive LAB, she developed the «Ecofemenist Utopias & eco-citizens dreams» funded by French and German governments, contribute to the first «ecofeminist festival» in Berlin and been the creator of the SEA’sters project, which launched its first pilot in Marseille with urban artist Paola Cervoni and the young circular startup, La casse aux Tresors. The initiative later expanded internationally through a collaboration with Ana Maria Corredor, founder and CEO of Merakiu, a Colombian organization supporting over 20,000 women entrepreneurs.
Never stop dreaming.. & ACTING
Calling herself a «Proud utopist», Axelle has worked in CO-LAB with artists and leaders of organizations pioneers in ART & SCIENCES for social change and protection of nature. She has collaborated with:
Anne Marie Melster – Artport, Making Waves, Ela Spalding of Estudio Nuboso and Vickie Frémont of My Hands My Tools… and many more, weaving a global network of creatives and changemakers dedicated to regenerating our relationship with the planet.
