SYMPOSIUM
Lisdoonvarna Pavillion and Burren College of Arts
23-25 October 2021
Maria and Rachel invite a panel of academics and practitioners to respond to concepts around water and temporality, in particular linking different multidisciplinary research methods such as experimental heritage, eco-somatics, durational arts. We invite our speakers to expand an inquiry across their diverse methods as a means to test out, redefine and rearticulate our living relationships with water through
the urgency of the times we live in.
