On September 9 and 10, 2025, the Portugal Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka will host the Deep Listening Deep Sea(ing) (DLDS) project. This new mission, following the Deep Sea Missions 1 to 5, explores the intersection of art, science, education, and environmental awareness in a context especially relevant to the Pavilion's theme: "Ocean, the Blue Dialogue", which highlights Portugal as a nation deeply connected to the sea.
DLDS will "give voice" to the Deep Ocean, engaging the diverse voices of children, teenagers, young adults, teachers, artists, and scientists who participated in previous missions.

On the Terrace of the Portugal Pavilion, a performance-documentary will be presented, blending sounds, images, and ideas, and integrating elements from the DLDS constellations and the Imaginary Sound Cartography. Throughout the day, performative music-theatre moments outside the Pavilion will offer additional ways of "giving voice" to the Deep Ocean.
