The ’Greencastle People Office’ in the Sperrin Mountains outside Omagh in Nothern Ireland began their occupation of land over 2 years ago to protest the mining company Dalradian.
I have been attending meetings with ‘SOS Save our Sperrin’s’ and with Friends of the Earth for a few years and making related art work.
​This work considers the rights of individuals and communities over the natural environment they live and work in and the political and economic force of mining companies.
In this present Covid-19 crisis, we are stepping back to consider environmental impacts and the possible creation of new systems based on our living landscapes. [B.H.]
