Earth Rising Festival
Earth Rising is Ireland’s leading festival exploring the intersection of climate, culture, and collective action. Presented by IMMA, the festival invites you to engage with the big questions of our time through the lens of art, creativity, and community.
This year’s festival is inspired by Staying with the Trouble, IMMA’s acclaimed group exhibition based on Donna Haraway’s influential text. The exhibition and the festival explore how we might live differently in a time of planetary breakdown, not by turning away from complexity, but by staying with it, together.
From radical talks to joyful workshops, restorative installations to grassroots action, Earth Rising 2025 features over 50 free events designed to inspire, connect, and activate.
