Common Good Podcast is conversations at the intersection of place, belonging & remembering. The framework for the podcast is the relationship of Walter Brueggemann, Peter Block and John McKnight. In the third episode of the second season, Mary Kerrigan speaks about the built environment, delight, ribcage and ribbon development and shares a number of important stories. From the province of Ulster in the north of Ireland Mary Kerrigan (RIBA MRIAI) is a scholar, architect-urbanist consultant - practitioner. Mary's specialisms include: leadership, heritage, and strengths based, possibilities oriented community engagement. She is all about a world of belonging and delight. On the ground this translates into distinctive, connected communities of delight. For the past five years or so, Mary has been growing awareness of the contribution our built world makes to support, or undermine our deep need to connect meaningfully with each other - and naturally occurring neighborliness. Mary has just completed a 2018 Scholarship at the Getty in L.A - researching for her intended publication 'A Place Reshaped'. In this ongoing work she examines the re-shaping of the place of her childhood: Enniskillen in south west Ulster; and the city that has been home for thirty years: Derry~Londonderry in Northern Ireland, through the prism of the politics of peace building, asking what learning there might be for other places emerging from conflict or division? En route to Ireland Mary presented a number of her co-creative visioning and community building projects from northwest Ulster at the Appalachian Studies Association Conference 2018 in Cincinnati, and was invited to participate in the Common Good Fellowship at the Hive. Check out a talk she gave here: youtube.com/watch?v=FS4sSmIYYqEAlso, check out The Seeing Eye Project, a sequence of five interactive workshops designed to open the eyes of 7/8 years old children so they truly see their built heritage world.
