Join us at Cork City Library for an exciting in-person gathering where we celebrate the beauty of nature through diverse stories.

We will gather in the beloved Thomas Davis Room for a cozy afternoon filled with great chats and some readings.

Get ready to be inspired by the unveiling of our unique book and zine.

Don’t miss out on this special community event! Come with friends.

Hosted by Good Day Cork & The Environmental Forum.

About our book and zine:

Last year, we hosted a guided walk of the Mardyke Trail with the Environmental Forum. Everyone shared their reflections on the day. We have put them all into a hand-made book and published a zine. The book will be revealed and there will be limited free copies of the zine on the day!

Important: The book was made with support from Cork Equal and Sustainable Communities Alliance (CESCA) & Irish Environmental Network (IEN). The zine is published with support from SICAP – Cork City Partnership. 

Acknowledgements: The hand-made book (artefact) is created by Elize De Beers. The zine is designed by Ekta Bhardwaj.

Additional note from our founder Joanna Dukkipati

At a time when our children are being killed, many people we know are discriminated against & many people with power seem to forget that our humanity is at stake… this book reveal & zine launch seems frivolous to the naked eye.

I have to remind myself everyday that our voices matter… being in nature matters.

I remind myself that kindness is a choice … respecting others wholly is a choice. It takes tremendous effort to practise these values. And it’s worth it.

⭐️ What place does this book have in the present?
It’s a hand made balm & the ingredients are nature connection, placemaking, respect for nature + each other, grounding & hope.

⭐️ What place will this book have in the future?
It will be a great memory & an archive of ordinary people doing ordinary things which might be taken for granted as we move closer to AI & multitudes of crises.

This book will not solve the human crises we’re experiencing nor the climate crisis – but it will remind us that we’re also made of the good stuff.
