Creating a Climate for Change in Limerick is a new project from Dance Limerick’s DL.Bridge programme running until the end of 2024. The project aims to promote behavioural change, just sustainability transitions, and climate literacy through easy-access creative media in the form of audio, visual & movement stories.
CREATE
Join us in creating new ways of thinking about climate action with Dance Limerick’s new project Creating a Climate for Change in Limerick.
CHANGE
The project aims to promote behavioural change, just sustainability transitions, and climate literacy through easy-access creative media in the form of audio, visual & movement stories.
IN LIMERICK
We are working with local groups and communities in Limerick city and county throughout 2024.
DL.Bridge artist Katy Hewison and a team consisting of researchers Ciara Moynihan and Gülfem Cevheribucak, dance artist Roberta Ceginskaite, choreographer and multidisciplinary artist Vanessa Grasse, and visual artist Mike O’Brien, will work in partnership with local communities to break down barriers to accessing climate change literature by transforming it into the formats of hearing, seeing and moving.
The team are thrilled to be working with Moyross Sport and Physical Activity Hub, Moyross Community Hub, Watch House Cross Library, Limerick City Library, and Croom Family Resource Centre.
The project culminates in sharing events at Dance Limerick and Limerick City Gallery of Art in November 2024.
