Ó Liath go Glas – Louis Haugh in collaboration with RADE  

Ó Liath go Glas, (From grey to green), is a new community project emerging from 2022’s Rhizome Green Arts project. Louis Haugh will work with diverse inner-city communities through a series of workshops that activate under-used urban spaces through regenerative greening. Through this process the project reflects on and considers the history of formal gardening as a history of colonialism, bringing focus back to the indigenous cultures where many of our common plants originate from.  

Centered around an invitation of hospitality, the project aims to connect members of neighbouring communities by activating outdoor spaces through art, ecology, and education. In 2023 Louis Haugh will work with participants at RADE. RADE is an organisation that aims to engage drug users through the arts and therapeutic supports and provide a platform for their artistic expression.
