County Cork, named after its city, Corcaigh,  is the largest and southernmost county on the island of Ireland. Referred to for over 500 years as the Rebel County, the genius of this land has always been associated with an alternative and staunchly independent identity opposed to centralised or colonial authority. 

Cork is the place to come to claim your own rebel identity. To invite that part of yourself into conversation around what it means to be independent. Do we accept subjugation? Or welcome an identity in opposed to the centralised and colonial forces within ourselves.

Our journey begins on Fota Island, nestled near the ancient waters of Cork Harbour, a safe distance inland from the rugged southern Atlantic Coast. The name Fota likely traces its origins to the Hiberno-Norse tradition, meaning "foot island," a fitting name given its location at the mouth of the River Lee. From this historic "foot," we will step out into the surrounding countryside, immersing ourselves in the untamed beauty and tapping into the wild, rebel spirit that this vibrant region awakens within us.
