THROUGH THE BELLY OF THE BEAST - Ardnacrusha Power Station May 2022 - ECO SHOWBOAT

The Eco Showboat Expedition 2022 is a four month arts voyage from Limerick to Enniskillen aboard the Mayfly, flagship of the ECO SHOWBOAT project, and the first solar electric boat to make this journey. More than 20 artists - and as many scientists and local activists - have been involved in developing a rich programme of events for the expedition, aimed at raising awareness of local and global environmental issues.

The project is the brain child of artists Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly, aka School of Looking, and has received the Arts Council Open Call Award for 2021, an SFI Discover Award, the Limerick Arts Strategic Award and is supported by Creative Ireland, Waterways Ireland, Dublin City Council, the Local Authority Waters Programme, Offaly County Council and local authorities and universities right across the country.
