Bó Mhór, 2023- ongoing

Bó Mhór is an ongoing collaborative, interdisciplinary project that aims to highlight the importance of food waste within the climate crisis conversation, exploring milk preservation as a process of preventing food waste. Led by artists David Beattie and Michelle Darmody, in partnership with Spirasi, a group of individuals seeking international protection in Ireland shared knowledge and experience of cheese and yogurt making in their own cultures. The waste-to-table element of Bó Mhór captures the potential of circular thinking and highlights how individual and collective action can create a cultural shift in rethinking food waste and embed this into our everyday actions.
