Our Work

Haring Woods is an interdisciplinary practice and we bring our different backgrounds, specialties and commitment to all of our work. We are commissioned by public/private sector partners for site specific or local public realm projects. We originate and produce new partnership projects for international research and development, and we devise and produce arts led explorations of contemporary culture.

Central to our methodology is the need to influence and make change in civil society. We ask questions, gather information and speak to the individuals responsible for policy and decision making.

The power of artists and the arts in all disciplines is evident in our partnerships and our projects. Each snapshot below will lead you to project websites with documentation and archive materials >>
