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.

Ooooh, so excited to get this mail from the US today. I know I shared the #online @hollywood_forest story and #ecosocialartpractice for the #Symbiocene journal #article some weeks back, but super thrilled to see my @hollywood_forest story, ‘the little wood that could’ in #PRINT as #firsttimeauthor , and it came with a big cheque, like a real published author, like! Link to article and more in Bio. . Many thanks to all who supported my cultural work for forests over the years, especially @lithicworks @malcolmnoonan @marycarty , @clasheen and @alandesprice you are mentioned and thanks @gwen_wilkinson for photos when I just started. . . Thanks to all the editors @humansandnature #culturedeclares #Ireland #Carlow #ecologicalart #ecoliteracy #learnecoart @haumea_learn_ecoart

So good to see the company @cygnumtimberframe we used in 2003 for our #warmandcozy house in Ireland is still going well. Hard to believe that still only 1/4 of builds are timber though! Horrible to think of all the CO2 resulting from concrete Thanks @boucherhayes for great reporting #rteclimateweek #rteonclimate
