In our latest episode of What's the Story, Dublin? The Official Dublin City Council Podcast, we’re looking at the Biodiversity Artist in Residence programme, which is funded by Creative Ireland under the Creative Climate Action Fund.

The original goal of the residency was to challenge the way staff think about biodiversity and how it impacts their work and day-to-day activities – but what was accomplished, as we discuss, went far beyond that.

We speak with both the current Biodiversity Artist inResidence, Louis Haugh, and Curator and Project Manager with Dublin City Council, Ruth Carroll, as part of the podcast.
