  is a travelogue which traces Niamh Seana Meehan’s explorations around t
 he coast of Ireland with her dog\, Olive. A collection of meditations\, sk
 etches\, and photographs offer Meehan’s reflections on being in transit 
 and record intimate conversations with the landscape.\n~\nNiamh Seana Meeh
 an is an artist working across sound\, sculpture\, installation\, and text
 . Her practice explores floating as a methodological approach to nurturing
  our relationship with water and the wider environment. Through acts of se
 nse-making\, wayfinding\, and deep listening\, she invites immersive exper
 iences that explore our entanglements with more-than-human worlds. Her wor
 k has been exhibited at The Douglas Hyde Gallery\, Dublin\; Irish Museum o
 f Modern Art\, Dublin\; An Táin Arts Centre\, Dundalk\; and Art Arcadia\,
  Derry.\n\nLucie McLaughlin is an artist\, writer\, researcher and facilit
 ator. Her practice focuses on expanded forms of writing\, realised in publ
 ications\, sound and performance readings. Her work has recently been publ
 ished by Paper Visual Art\, JOAN\, Mirror Lamp Press\, The Yellow Paper an

 ontemporary Art Derry~Londonderry where she is undertaking a collaborative

 o present COMMUNE from 15th - 25th August 2025. Taking place in and around
  the Muine Bheag Community Centre\, the programme unfolds as a collection 
 of live events\, workshops and public interventions.\n\nCOMMUNE is a site 
 for assembling and disseminating ideas\, emerging from a central studio an
 d gathering space shared by artists\, community groups\, collaborators and
