EXCUSE ME? WHICH WAY TO...? NAVIGATING IRELAND WITHOUT A MAP
Imagine the scene. You’re on a driving holiday when you realise that you are lost. Completely and utterly lost. The usual responses range from checking the map, or pressing wildly at the buttons on the satellite navigation, to driving onwards in the hope that your destination will just appear like magic in front of you.
Most of us will do anything to avoid the simplest solution to our dilemma – stopping and asking a local for directions. This is exactly what film maker and explorer Sima Gonsai is doing for six weeks while cycling Ireland this summer as part of her project Cycle Dialogues. In fact, Sima is going one step further and letting the people she encounters on her journey chose the route from one city, town or village to the next, until she has looped the coast of Ireland.
Using an eclectic combination of paper and digital technology, Sima, who is currently on the Producers Forum Apprenticeship Mentor Scheme, is engaging individuals all over the world with her journey, with the stories of the people she encounters and with the stories of people who are fascinated by her adventure.
