Tuath
‘Tuath’ is a collaboration with place and land, and islandness. It is also a particular configuration and history of a ‘croft’ – a native cultural, political, and economic situation of land – in the Isle of Skye. The focus and practice are stories and futures of place: place as agency and collaboration, for shared cultural concerns, including intercultural and anti-racist practices; and also ecological concerns, such as environmental snd climate crises. This project includes international collaborations with place/s and practice/s with parallel and interconnected histories of land, and in relation with islandness.
The project collaborations include with ATLAS Arts (the School of Plural Futures, and also an artist residency; with artist Shiraz Bayjoo, “Innis: an island and a meadow”. There are also institutional partnerships, such as in an SSHRC grant with colleagues at OCAD in Canada (on Indigenous Knowledge, the environment, and technology).
Tuath collaborations work with the cultural intersections and creative practices of knowing with and through place.
