To mark the autumn equinox, we will connect to the wonder of nature at night with ecologist Anja Murray and explore what creatures do when darkness descends. Assembling in the cemetery, we will gather with Anya on A L T A R for a reading from her book 'Wild Embrace'. Anja Murray is an ecologist, policy analyst, broadcaster and author, familiar to many from Eco Eye on RTÉ1 and radio documentaries (Nature File; Root &amp; Branch, Feather &amp; Flock on RTÉ lyric fm). Anja’ work explores the wonders of Irelands natural world, the challenges and solutions to the current crisis, and creative approaches to helping people to re-engage. Her bestselling book ‘Wild Embrace’ was published in 2023 by Hachette Ireland. Please note:This is an outdoor event so please dress for the weather and bring a torch.Participants are asked to remove their shoes when they gather on A L T A R.This event may be documented by film and still photography. The film will be screened and images used for publishing, press and social media. A L T A R is a site-responsive intervention for Goldenbridge Cemetery by artist Clodagh Emoe and architect Donal Lally. A L T A R explores how we, the living and the dead, are intrinsically connected with the natural world. A L T A R draws on the material and essence of plant life, creating a gathering space between the interior of the 18th-century Mortuary Chapel and the canopy of the ancient Beech Tree. A L T A R is funded by The Arts Council of Ireland and supported by Common Ground, Dublin Cemeteries Trust, NCAD and TUDublin.
