The Universe is a Story- Residency

TAP Residency between Conahy National School & Artist Thomas Duffy 2021

‘The Universe is a communion of subjects not a collection of Objects’…Thomas Berry.
Proposal:
In ‘The Universe is a story’ we will explore how everything is connected, from Macro to Micro scale…together we will discover the patterns of connection from galaxies to the tiny organisms in our soil.
Our connections are to each other and the space and place we inhabit where all organic beings inorganic materials and locations are symbiotic and work together for each other’s survival and ability to thrive.

From roads to roots, family trees to the creatures that inhabit real trees, this open ended questioning will investigate the rich and living universe and our place within it. The mode of discovery will be through a whole range of investigations, finding our stories through collecting, drawing, questioning, sharing and listening. The exploration will be age appropriate encouraging the children to ask big and small questions without the need for definitive answer.
