What If We Were Brilliant? is a hopeful and creative project by Brilliant Ballybunion and artist Lisa Fingleton for IMMA Earth Rising that explores how communities can be “brilliant not brutal” in the face of biodiversity loss and climate change.

Earlier this year IMMA invited proposals for collaborations between visual artists, Irish-based environmental groups, and local communities and Brilliant Ballybunion was one of the four* selected projects.
