Weaving the Ocean’s Memory with artist Síle Walsh [ALT EFF 2025]

Síle's art is shaped by her explorations of the Irish coastline — join us for a gentle, creative two-hour workshop rethinking the waste that washes up on our shores.

We’ll talk about slow looking, what drifts in, why it matters, and how we can weave meaning from it. Guided by her vision, participants will transform found objects into small woven tapestries — delicate, surprising, and deeply connected to the sea.

Take home your own piece of ocean memory.

This workshop is part of ALT EFF: The All Living Things Environmental Film Festival 2025. ALT EFF is not only a curation of films and environmental stories from around the world — it is a space for engagement, interaction, and conversation. Each film selection is paired with non-film programming that brings ideas into lived experience: hands-on making, local ecological insights, storytelling, and community connection.

Every venue and collaborator taking part — every facilitator and participant contributes to this ethos of thinking locally and participating meaningfully. These workshops are an invitation to explore the themes of the festival through touch, dialogue, creativity, and place.
