MaIRI McFADYEN
Mairi McFadyen is an independent creative collaborator based in the Scottish Highlands, working across the interconnected roles of researcher, educator, facilitator, writer and creative practitioner. Drawing on a background in ethnology, human ecology and folk culture, her work explores relationships between culture, ecology and place — particularly how cultural memory, local knowledge and living creative practice shape the ways we understand, inhabit and care for the places around us. Her diverse portfolio is connected by a commitment to regenerative, convivial alternatives to extractive systems, and to imagining and building more hopeful futures.
This is my personal portfolio and an archive of past and present work, including my writing.
