The Oileán Project VII is a collaborative publication developed in response to an artist-led archive held at NIVAL, NCAD’s archival library. Centred on Inis Mór, the publication uses storytelling to investigate and portray the island as a living, breathing entity, shaped by its landscape, history and generations of culture.  Rather than simply documenting the island, we sought to capture its character and its memories, allowing its stories to unfold through photography, video, sketches and journal entries. By engaging directly with the landscape, we explored how a place can hold its own identity and sense of life.
