‘Donate a Plate’ – The Story Behind Crockery Mountain
“Donate A Plate” is a creative climate action project led by artist Sean Corcoran in partnership with ACT Waterford. The initiative invited the public to donate broken or unused crockery, transforming these everyday items into a large-scale community mosaic.
This documentary film, directed by Aisling Gavin and with the team at Traenáil Nemeton, explores the personal stories behind the project. It asks a simple yet powerful question: Why do we have so much crockery in our homes?
Now a permanent installation on the wall of Movies @ Dungarvan, Crockery Mountain celebrates the power of community and creative climate action. This environmental art piece reflects the idea of overconsumption, encouraging people to reconsider their relationship with everyday objects and rethink attitudes towards waste.
