RESEARCH DIRECTION:
Crafting Socially Engaged Arts spaces for debate, dialogue and shared imagination.
Cearcall is a continued artistic research project aiming to fabulate a visual language for ecological futurism.
At present, with place based work rooted in Scotland, the central question Cearcall explores is:
What forms of Ecological futurism emerge when Celtic cultural traditions are re-imagined through socially engaged practice in a queer and multi-cultural Scotland?
Cearcall is an artistic research initiative exploring how art can generate new realities, cultivate dialogue, and expand our collective capacity to imagine alternative futures. Taking inspiration from the visual language of the Celtic knot, Cearcall approaches knowledge as fundamentally interwoven: emerging through the entanglement of disciplines, people, places, and ideas. Through socially engaged artistic events, workshops, conversations, and creative encounters, Cearcall creates spaces in which participants can critically reflect on the present while collectively experimenting with new narratives and possibilities for living together. Situated at the intersection of artistic practice, research, and public engagement, Cearcall understands art not only as a means of representation, but as a method for world-making: a way of rehearsing more ecological, just, and imaginative futures.
