A visual presentation by Melanie Lynch, curator of the Borneo x Ireland Cultural Exchange exhibition.
The exhibition features photography, by Karen Cox and David Metcalf, of children from Arus Kualan Indigenous schools in Borneo, and Wild Earth and Down to Earth forest schools in Ireland.
The Dayak people are guardians of Borneo, the oldest rainforest in the world, protecting 140 million years of biodiversity. In this polarising era, a heartwarming friendship between the Irish and Dayak people celebrates our shared humanity and the gifts of diversity and nature.
