Cathy Davey Sings Us A New Forest

Cathy Fitzgerald PhD | eco-social artist | educator | researcher

I explore new ideas and practices for eco-social well being by bringing art and non-art practices together in my creative practice. I also offer Ecoliteracy learning, workshops, mentoring, writing and policy developments for the arts at www.haumea.site _____________________________ Through my practice and an art practice-theory PhD "The Ecological Turn", I have developed a guiding theory-method framework to articulate the context and workings of long-term eco-social art practices. These vital practices activate ecoliteracy and agency for environmental change in communities. Much of my PhD drew on my experiences and challenges, and the review of others' pioneering creative practices' that are responding to ecological concerns. My own transversal practice reflects on the transformation of the small conifer plantation that I live with, Hollywood forest, toward new-to-Ireland, Close-to-Nature forestry. I bring previous experience in biological science research and interests in environmental philosophy, policy development and ecocide-Rights of Nature law developments into the mix. _____________________________ Somehow an eco-social art practice allows me to connect and move across these various strands of interest to create a new agency for myself and the human and non-human neighbours I depend on and live with. _____________________________ Hollywood forest is the smallest Close-to-Nature forest in Ireland; its growing happily near Mt Leinster and the Blackstairs mountains in South East Ireland.

I've had my long-working imac in for repairs for over a month so haven't been writing my #FridayArt4Emergency posts for awhile. But back to it today with a post about my good friend @CaroleNelsonMusic ‘s new forthcoming 'Arboreal' jazz album. Carole came to me for ecoliteracy-forest advice earlier this year for a new album she was composing! I share some #behind-the-scenes conversations and two early versions of new #jazz-in-the-woods tracks! Enjoy! . @visual_carlow @emmalucyobrien Link to latest blog post in Bio . #MusicDeclares #JazzDeclares #Letsdothis #IrishJazz #Carlow #neomodernjazz #culturedeclaresemergency #ecoliteracy #ecoart #environmentalmusic #climatechange #music #savetheplanet #symbiocene #forestmusic # #learnart #ecosocialartpractice #natureart #earthart #culturedeclares #theleveragedphd #musicdeclares #theecologicalturn
