Join us this Cork Lifelong Learning Festival for a public talk with artist Deirdre Frost and UCC academic Denis Linehan that explores the 2022 Glucksman project Memory of Place.
In Spring 2022, the Glucksman partnered with Cork City Partnership, Knocknaheeny to invite older members of the community to take part in a creative project with artist Deirdre Frost. The project was designed to facilitate the artist to create new artworks in response to the ideas, stories and memories of the community. Together, artist and community explored their relationship to Cork city, and the changes that have occurred during their lifetime with a particular focus on the built environment. Through a series of creative consultations both at the Glucksman and in the community, the group shared stories, photographs and artifacts with the artist. The sessions also included talks, tours, and creative activities with curators and academics where participants learned about the history, architecture and art of the city.
A talk that UCC Geographer Denis Linehan gave to the group on Cork City Architect Eamon O'Byrne helped to shape the project and inspired the artist to create the painting Blueprint for Change (the municipal housing of Cork City Architect Eamon O’Byrne).
