“The Connective Detective” is a workshop series developed in collaboration with Smart Docklands, CONNECT Centre and Dublin City Council.

Dublin City Council is delighted to announce the third Biodiversity Artist in Residence, Louis Haugh, who will work within the Council on Biodiversity responsive projects, assisting the Council to transform thinking around the challenges of protecting and improving space for nature within the city.

Louis Haugh is a visual artist with a background in photography and video making. His work looks for new ways to engage with and learn from ecology, while platforming public and community engagement in the process. Over the duration of his residency at the Council, Louis will be looking at how language and systems of communication help to shape our relationship to the environment and will be offering different opportunities to the Council's community of staff to participate in this research.

Louis will be working with the Climate Action Team until September 2025.

This project is funded by Creative Ireland, through the Creative Climate Action Fund.

Dublin City Council’s Parks, Biodiversity and Landscape Services were delighted to welcome His Excellency the Chinese Ambassador, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and guests to mark the re-opening of the Irish Suzhou Garden in St Anne’s Park.
Despite the rain, spirits were lifted as this ‘little corner of China’ — a symbol of Chinese culture and friendship — officially reopened following months of careful restoration, a collaboration between Ireland and the People’s Republic of China.
