Riverine – Film Screening & Public Conversation

The Shaking Bog presents the screening of a new film by Alan Gilsenan – Riverine. This film was created over the duration of the Riverscapes project and celebrates the diverse communities of both people and nature that populate the Dargle River Basin. It is a visual poem that includes snippets taken from audio recordings of conversations with residents from the mountains of Glencree to the sea front in Bray. The film also includes a specially commissioned written meditation on rivers by the acclaimed writer, Kerrí ní Dochartaigh.

Interval (30 mins) – Refreshments provided

Together for Nature – Finding hope through community action and awakening.

Following the screening of Riverine, we hope that everyone will stay to contribute to an open and inclusive conversation about how the biodiversity crisis is being positively impacted by the collective efforts of communities in Wicklow and further afield. Guest speakers will include artists, naturalists and activists who are working with and for nature, to effect positive change. Moderated by Deirdre Duffy, CEO of Friends of the Earth with speakers including, Danny Alvey from Rewild Wicklow, Liz McMahon – Artist and Forest Schools Leader, Denis Cahill – Community Leader in Fassaroe, Bray.
