Join the Liffey Sensing Workshop on the 18th of February, part of the S+T+ARTS4Water II public programme. This event is part of the artist Siobhán McDonald’s ‘Shapeshifter‘ project exploring the links between water and memory, focusing on the history and ecology of Dublin Port and its connection to the city. During the workshop we will explore some materials connected with the river, think about our memories and our connections with the Liffey.
Shapeshifter is an ever-evolving organic project that revives buried traditions and presents new perspectives on Dublin Port. It will map and make visible a slice of underwater time from 1850 to 2050 using cutting-edge technology to address the challenges of urbanisation. It will provoke a departure from conventional structures to pose new questions and underscore the invisible and intangible power of ports through rigorous experimentation and creative collaboration, engaging diverse stakeholders.
