Significant public interest between farming practices and climate change is currently taking place across Ireland and the UK. In the last decade, an increasing number of artists, particularly in Ireland and Scotland, have established professional collaborations with those working in agricultural industries. These collaborations are important for rural communities who feel disenfranchised or disaffected with social and political structures, because they give agency to life stories that might otherwise be overlooked or misunderstood. This research proposes the notion that Art has a unique ability to act as a connecting force between disparate groups and serves to open up questions and actions on rural issues.
