About this event

Testing the Waters is a community-led art and science project responding to local concerns about climate change, biodiversity loss, and water quality. The project brings together artists, scientists, and residents of Westport, Ireland to explore the role of nature and sustainability in Irish towns, starting with the Carrowbeg River.

This project was developed in response to a direct request from the local community to take meaningful, creative action on local environmental issues.

Testing the Waters is funded by the Research Ireland Discover Programme.
