An Scioból: The Courtyard Gallery @ Uillinn
Wed 29 July – Sat 1 Augst. 10am – 4.30pm. Admission free
An Scioból (the hub) is a photographic exhibition and an immersive, site-responsive record of The Dinnseanchas Project thus far, incorporating artefacts such as wool, tools, maps, field recordings and other objects connected to upland life and land practices. It is also a place of exchange, hosting workshops, talks and open conversations.
Among the work being presented in An Scioból are Net(work), an experimental social sculpture conceived by artist William Bock that explores collective ritual and shared work as ‘tools’ to restoration, both cultural and ecological, and The Little Library of Lyreacrompane by Living Rhythms (Heather Griffin and Patrick Mulvihill), a token of appreciation to upland community of Lyreacrompane in North Kerry and their sustained efforts to keep the stories of their place alive for future generations.
