AN INTERACTIVE exhibition which has opened in Limerick hopes to spark conversations and inspire action.
The latest Hunt Museum's exhibition, Night’s Candles are Burnt Out, is an experiential exhibition which aims to encourage discussion regarding the pressing issue of Climate Change.
The exhibition invites visitors to explore how Ireland can embrace its pioneering history and lead the way in addressing the climate challenge, by harnessing the immense renewable energy potential of the Shannon Estuary, particularly through wind and water.
Through art, technology, and storytelling, Night's Candles are Burnt Out offers local communities and the public at large an opportunity to engage with the positive possibilities of change, fostering hope and motivating individuals to consider how they can contribute to sustainable solutions.
Jill Cousins, Director, The Hunt Museum, said: “The Hunt Museum's role in climate action is to serve as a creative and educational hub and a conduit to meaningful change.
“We’re bringing our community and partners together to curate an interactive exhibition that encourages conversation and action on the climate crisis.
“Through the transformative power of art and culture, we can ignite behavioural change by establishing emotional connections that will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the science and technology that can move us from our reliance on non-renewable energy to a sustainable future. Our goal is to encourage buy-in for future possibilities while encouraging more environmentally friendly lifestyles and practices in the present.”
The exhibition is co-created by companies involved in alternative energy supply and technology, local communities and contemporary artists interpreting the science and facts, translating the fears and aspirations.
With a creative and immersive experience, visitors are brought through a series of installations.
The exhibition is running until February 2024.
