The KinShip Project -Creative Climate Action County Cork, Ireland
Connecting the community and the park
The KinShip Project is a durational public artwork, developing a variety of socially engaged cultural initiatives at the Tramore Valley Park over the course of 15 months. The overall aim is to develop a real sense of connection between the community and its park. This kin-like connection is a civic goal, to have people to treat the park like part of their wider family.
To achieve this, there will be a programme of artistic residencies, the design and building of a sustainable eco lab, and a series of creative exchanges and knowledge exchanges. All of these elements will put the the local community at the centre of the project.
