]]> We are delighted to be supporting artist Clodagh Emoe and architect Donal Lally with A L T A R, a site-responsive intervention for Goldenbridge Cemetery.

A L T A R explores how we, the living and the dead, are intrinsically connected with the natural world. A L T A R draws on the material and essence of plant life, creating a gathering space between the interior of the 18th-century Mortuary Chapel and the canopy of the ancient Beech Tree.

The post Culture Date with Dublin 8 appeared first on Common Ground.

]]> Join us to find out about Dublin 8’s biodiversity, history, and heritage on a Walk/Talk led by two members of the D8 Green Bridge Forum. This is the first Walk/Talk in 2023 in a series titled Blue & Green with lots in between, as part of the programme for Culture Date with Dublin 8. We will walk on a route around the local area and stop at various points of interest. We will learn how our built and natural environments connect to one another and share ideas on how to make our area a greener, healthier place to live for us, our community, and the flora and fauna we share it with.

The Walk/Talk will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday 13th May at The Lodge beside Goldenbridge Cemetery, and will finish in Turvey Park, Inchicore. The Walk/Talk will last approximately 2 hours. An illustrated map will be gifted to participants anchoring key points of interest and interesting facts about the heritage and biodiversity of each location. Tickets are limited and can be booked in advance on Eventbrite.
