Earth Rising at IMMA

September 12 - 14, 2025, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin

Bearing Witness | Holding Space | Making Injury Visible is a powerful project from Interface Inagh, exploring the environmental and cultural impact of offshore wind farms on Ireland’s coastal communities. Led by artists Jane Cassidy and Laney Mannion, alongside ecologist Marie Louise Heffernan and curator Alannah Robins, the project centres on the proposed wind farm at Sceirde Rocks, Connemara.
Through immersive sound and light installations, participatory workshops, and seabird mapping, the project invites audiences to engage with the delicate balance between renewable energy and marine biodiversity. Visitors will interact with a tactile, immersive installation to activate recordings of seabird calls, explore migration paths, and print woodcut stories based on local folklore.
Urgent and thought-provoking, the project celebrates the unique richness of Ireland’s marine ecosystems—true jewels of its biodiversity. At the same time, it critically examines the industrialisation of our seas. Amplifying the voices of coastal communities, it encourages a national conversation about sustainable climate action that protects both ecosystems and cultural heritage.
