Seaweed Stories is an independent Crackling Light Productions project, developed with communities in Liscannor, Ennistymon and Miltown Malbay. Running from October to February, the monthly programme invites participants to explore the shoreline alongside marine experts and seaweed foragers, combining fieldwork with creative experimentation through macro photography, seaweed-based photographic developer processes, and printing with seaweed dyes. This exhibition presents a selection of photographs and prints made by participants, celebrating coastal ecology, local knowledge and shared making. Hosted at The Courthouse Gallery & Studios (CHG&S) as a guest exhibition.
