this/OUR is a community deep mapping project exploring Glenbower Wood through art, history, ecology and citizen science, led by artists Basil Al-Rawi, Chris Finnegan, Katie Nolan and Philip Ryan, of Nocht Studio, in partnership with Greywood Arts.
Deep mapping is a transdisciplinary process that layers community voices, artistic interpretations, historical narratives, and ecological perspectives into a multidimensional narrative of place. This methodology, inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' short essay On Exactitude in Science, allows us to explore the tension between the precision in defining "THIS" place and the transient, relational nature of "OUR" connection to it.
The project will be mentored by archaeologist and citizen science expert, Jonski Millar, contemporary historian and Associate Professor of History at Galway University, Dr. Kevin O'Sullivan and eco-social artist and educator, Dr. Cathy Fitzgerald.
