A new film work by Deirdre O’Mahony, commissioned by Workhouse union and co-produced in partnership with VISUAL. The potato is a potent image to evoke in relation to food and food security, revealing conscious and unconscious attitudes to land and otherness, both in Ireland and beyond. O’Mahony’s film presents a understanding of the potato’s cultural and economic role in our histories, and reminds us that real sustainability lies in our capacity to provide for ourselves.
