WayMarkers was a long term social art project created by Irish artist Marilyn Lennon and the Knockatallon Ramblers club in north Co. Monaghan, Ireland, in the years just before the UK Brexit vote. A process of creative enquiry led to the mapping of hikers routes that criss-crossed the IRL/UK border on the island of Ireland.
This emerged from walking and working with the Knockatallon Ramblers hiking club, creatively engaging with the embodied knowledge of place that gives them a particular knowledge and perspective on the place known as 'the border' between rural Co. Monaghan and the adjoining territories.
From her experience growing up on the same border, Marilyn found a new perspective as she walked with the Ramblers and worked with them using artistic, participatory and collaborative methods. The enquiry revealed a deeper understanding of place and of the ramblers wider motivations and concerns. The process uncovering a desire in the community to create a counter-narrative or a remapping of the area.
Over time the work led to the co-creation, with the ramblers club and GIS developer Brian O’Hare, of a prototype online community map, that holds the future potential to map infinite routes traversing the full length of the borderlands.
The independent online community map facilitates hikers to co-author their own maps of trails and to upload digital coordinates, images, videos, sound and text which share to the world the hikers intimate, ecological, cultural knowledge of place. Creating the map has been the imagining of a different type of border region cartography.
