Abstract
Illustrated stories on the importance of the ocean to communities along the Irish Atlantic coastline. In 2020, artists worked with scientists and coastal communities along the
Welsh coast and the Irish east and south coasts and the outputs were
captured in the “Demystify” publication (2021). However, due to the Covid-19
pandemic it was not possible to complete this work with coastal communities
on the west coast of Ireland and this part of the project had to be cancelled.
In January 2023, the Marine Institute decided to finish this work and built a
team to engage with coastal communities along the Irish Atlantic coast.
The resultant artwork and commentary from these coastal communities are
presented in this compendium “Reportage of an Odyssey”.
“Reportage” is a type of visual art where the artist sketch on location to tell a
specific story and it is the central pillar of this compendium. An odyssey can be
defined as an eventful journey, usually involving a lot of different and exciting
activities. Hence the name of this compendium.
