A new public art project seeks to draw connections between the people of Cork's southside and the Tramore Valley Park, fostering a sense of community and care for a natural landscape reclaimed from landfill.

The KinShip Project, led by artists LennonTaylor (Marilyn Lennon and Seán Taylor), is designed to support "creative, cultural and artistic projects that build awareness around climate change", illustrating how we can make changes in our behaviour amid environmental worries.
