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 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.

As an Irish art culture worker extremely concerned with the ecological emergency that is unfolding around us, and knowing the culture sector in Ireland to date is not creating strategies commensurate with the situation, I have become a signatory to the first wave of a new global movement, #CultureDeclaresEmergency that is being launched across the world today. I am joining more than 180 leading UK arts and culture institutions and individuals will declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency #culturedeclaresemergency read more here https://hollywoodforest.com/2019/04/03/culture-declares-emergency-signing-up-from-ireland/

Hello #hornbeam, love this tree’s #spring bright green leaves, under-planted amongst conifers. Zuri, an elderly 15 yr dog we minded last week loves @hollywood_forest too 🌳🌲☘️🐕

A friend is completely changing her garden to bring in flowers 🌸 for bees. She’s looking at all her flowers to see if the bees 🐝 visit them. I didn’t think this snakehead spring bulb would offer much but I was wrong 🙂 #saving #irishbees #pollinatorplan #sustainablegardening

Spring is here! Wish you could hear evensong - this is Hollywood basking in the pink #gloaming at our backdoor #Spring #Carlow
