6pm Mind Meitheal by Deirdre O’Mahony
The Mind Meitheal is a cultural intervention - a creative space in which different forms of knowledge; tacit, place-based, environmental, ecological, cultural, political and social science, are given parity. By entering into a trans-disciplinary exchange process, participants creatively and openly engage with specific questions - in this instance the questions have come from the conflict on the regulation and future use of raised bogs and peatlands in Ireland.
